| New Orleans Stage Saturday |
The individual members of the band, with
collective experience as sidemen in almost every
facet of Toronto's very diverse music scene, are
well on their way to stellar careers and have
already earned national recognition, including a
Western Canadian Music Award, a Galaxie
Rising Star Award, and a JUNO nomination.
Sharing a love for New Orleans-inspired jazz,
they formed the Heavyweights Brass Band in
2009 to bring their fresh, modern take on this
joyful music to a worldwide audience. Since their
debut they have gained a strong following in
Toronto, playing regularly to packed houses at
the Gladstone Hotel, the Painted Lady, and
world-famous jazz venue The Rex Hotel, as well
as raucous post-concert parties for visiting New
Orleans legends Nicholas Payton, Allen
Toussaint and Gregg Stafford.
