Paula Harris and her world-class band stand out as one of the most unique and funky bands to have ever emerged from California. After bursting into the international music scene as one of the top three finalists at the largest battle of the bands in the world, the “International Blues Challenge”, they went on to receive multiple blues and music award nominations as well as international airplay and media attention. Most recently the act was nominated for a 2016 Northern California Entertainers award as “Band of the Year” as well as Paula receiving the nod for “Best Female Blues Vocalist”.
The eight piece horn driven sound is referred to as “The Big Ass Brass”. They are often compared to another famous California Band, “Tower Of Power”, probably because their sound was initially crafted by “Tower” band members the late Mic Gillette on trumpet and trombone and current “Tower” saxophonist, Tom E. Politzer. Paula’s horn section is now comprised of an all-star crew of players who ALL hold Grammy Awards! This show has a reputation of packing out every venue they make an appearance at and have sold out the last three New Year’s Eve celebrations with standing room only crowds.
This is the real deal when it comes to bands. The show features well known covers of tunes that have famous horn riffs as well as some of the tunes crafted for Paula by Mic and Tom, and even a few originals inspired by the hip shaking sound that has come to be known world- wide as “East Bay Grease” It combines the funky elements of a dance band with the elegance of a big band then twists it into an extraordinary blues sound. This is the one you'll tell your friends about!
