James Brown Tribute Band

On the 25th of December 2006 ‘The Godfather Of Soul’ James Brown has passed away. As a tribute to the founder of funk we have taken the initiative to perform on the larger stages and festivals with ‘The James Brown Tribute Band’.Since the summer of 2008 frontman Tony Wilson joined The James Brown Tribute Band for their European tour. Tony Wilson ('The Young James Brown') is blessed by James Brown himself. He is also the frontman of the tribute tour with the original JB's; Bootsy Collins, Catfish Phelps, Jabo Starks, Fred Wesely and more legendary musicians! More about Tony on: http://www.myspace.com/youngjamesbrownTony's European band consists of 9 experienced professional musicians and plays well known and rare grooves of James Brown from the beginning of the funk in the sixties, trough the seventies funk to the disco-funk in the eighties. Beside the music also the stylish appearance of the band, dynamic movements on the stage and lots of visual material of James Brown are part of the show.PHOTO/VIDEO: PAUL SMIT..
