Description

Showtime 7pm-9pm ~ $10 Admission ABOUT THE BAND Grand Marquis is a big brass powerhouse, weaving old stories in with new tales for the 21st century. American roots styles from Kansas City blues to Memphis soul blend with the exuberance of a New Orleans second line party. A mighty chorus of horns, a groove-heavy rhythm section, and big, soulful vocals highlight well-crafted original music. Their live performances are equal parts celebration of our collective musical heritage, and hope for a brighter future together. Based out of Kansas City, over 23 years Grand Marquis has played more than 2,200 shows all across the US, and released 8 full length recordings. Also released vinyl recordings from Sun Studios in Memphis ("The Sun Session") and a tribute to KC soul singer Tony Ashley ("Can't Put You Down.") Other highlights include The Blues Foundation International Blues Challenge Finalist in both performance and self-produced recording categories, as well as multiple Kansas City publications' "Best Of" awards in both blues and jazz categories over several years. A NOTE ABOUT SEATING All available seating is first come, first served. Table availability is very limited, but there is usually ample room at the bar and tables available over on The Ship side. We will do our best to accomodate seating requests, but you should not expect to have a table. Show tickets are General Admission and do not guarantee a table or a seat. Early shows require tables to be turned around by 9:30pm so we can accomodate guests for our late show. Please be kind to our host and servers who may ask you to give up your table at the end of the show.
