Underground superstars NoMeansNo are coming to the Royal
By Nelson Daily Editor
Clinton Swanson and Friends
Monday, October 24th – Showtime 8 pm
- $10 at the door
The second show in Clinton Swanson’s three-concert fall series is a performance by Bessie and The Back Eddies.
This seven-piece ensemble will perform music from the early days of R’n B. A time when horn sections, acoustic piano, and double bass were the key players and gutsy R’n B powered by explosive female vocalists was the game.
Indulging in this genre, Bessie and The Back Eddies is fronted by the dynamic Bessie Wapp singing these timeless classics with all her heart.
Supporting Bessie is the big sounds of The Back Eddies which is made up of a groovin’ rhythm section (Marvin Walker: drums, Jesse Lee: acoustic bass, Colin Spence: piano) and a swinging’ horn section (Tim Bullen: trumpet, Keith Todd: trombone, Clinton Swanson: saxophones).
If you like to dance or just sway and listen to some old sweet R’n’B sounds, come on down to the Royal.
