Continuing the band's highly lauded shows at its city home Bird's Basement, band-leader John Montesante, brings his legendary soul kings, Grand WaZoo, back for another knockout show of iconic Soul & Motown favourites on Derby Day.
Featuring one of Australia's coolest soul men (TBC) the stunning Soul Divas, Samantha Morley & Joys Njambi, this is as good as it gets! Add the iconic 6-piece WaZoo Horns and 4 Rockin' Rhythm Players, and what a perfect way to dance and romance.
Since 1981, Grand WaZoo has been Australia's premier 13-piece soul music outfit presenting the iconic 60s-70s Black Soul hits, rare gems and band originals to appreciative audiences, across generations with timeless music of Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles James Brown, Ike & Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Eddie Floyd, Etta James, Sam & Dave & numerous others of the era....
