Brass Camel with Fonk Beam at The Effie - Kamloops

Brass Camel is a unique Vancouver-based rock group whose singular sound mashes together the diverse influences of prog, funk and rock music. The band's musicianship, songwriting and work ethic have led to endorsements from such companies as Sabian, Rotosound UK and Vater and the group has performed over 120 concerts since the release of their debut album "Brass" in late 2022. Among these shows are two successful national tours of Canada, numerous summer festivals including Between the Peaks, Starbelly Jam, and Wapiti Festival, and performances in such esteemed venues as Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom and Vogue Theatre as well as a headline performance at Toronto's historic Longboat Hall. Working with multiple Juno winner Ben Kaplan, the group has completed the recording of a second full length LP which shows a remarkable development in the group's writing and arrangement abilities. With a slated release of March 2025 and a Canada/US tour to follow,  Brass Camel seeks to further build an audience for their strange brew.
