  • Music
  • Entertainment

Grand Wazoo's 45 Year Legacy Tour continues, with the Kings of Soul returning with Soul in the City. The band brings its Black Soul Music Spectacular, that will have you grooving in your seats, while taking a scintillating ride down memory lane.

Grand Wazoo is Australia’s premier and longest running Soul Music exponents, with 10 musicians and three singers providing the most authentic and entertaining Afro-American Soul Music experience outside the USA, performing since 1981. The band performs outstanding arrangements of the timeless songs and dance tunes from the golden 1960s-70s era of Soul, along with band songs in that same big brassy style.
