SUMMARY:Bu Von Blume - Elevate Summer Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:Elevate Summer Concerts continue with an epic show on August 8th with local favourites Bu VonBlume and Trombonissimo!\n\nBu VonBlume is funk. Bu VonBlume is disco. Bu VonBlume is cumbia\, punk\, ska\, soul\, balkan. Whatever it takes to get the people moving and grooving\, really. Vancouver Island multi-instrumentalist Lou Kinglish (normally an accordion player) teamed up with some of the heaviest hitting funk\, brass\, jazz and punk virtuosos around to create Bu VonBlume; a band that mixes hilarious theatre antics with downright dangerous bass and horn lines to cook up a real dance fiasco.\nSpecial Opening set from Trobonissimo!\nTrombonissimo is a brass and loop pedal extravaganza! All trombone\, all the time is the motto for trombonist Daniel Cryderman’s solo project. After years of playing with large ensembles and touring groups\, Trombonissimo emerges as the solo live-electronic project that carries forward Cryderman’s musical journey. In Trombonissimo\, the trombone meets effect pedals\, loop pedals\, and sequenced beats on his drum machine. The eclectic shows offer a range of rock\, cumbia\, reggae\, and funky jazz covers mixed with original songs and compositions.\n\nElevate Summer Concerts are FREE for our community and presented by Elevate the Arts in partnership with the Village of Cumberland and supported by Biblio Taco\, Cumberland Brewing\, Riders Pizza and the Waverley Hotel!\n*For the safety and comfort of attendees please leave your furry friends at home.\n* If you bring chairs remember this simple guideline\, blankets in front\, then low riders\, then high lawn chairs.
