June 16th – Grand Marquis

Grand Marquis is a big brass powerhouse band based out of Kansas City, weaving old stories with new tales for the 21st century. With genres ranging from Kansas City blues to Memphis soul, their classic American roots 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 their well-crafted original music. Grand Marquis’ live performances are equal parts celebration of our collective musical heritage and hope for a brighter future together.
