SHK Music Presents: BT ALC Big Band ft. the A-Beez at Boston Harbor Distillery
This is going to be an insane evening at the Distillery. It will feature the merging of 2 of our favorite New England bands into one 18 piece collaboration of musical awesomeness.
BT ALC Big Band is led by trombonist Brian Thomas and trumpeter Alex Lee-Clark. Since the band's formation in 2011, they have wow'd audiences with their hard grooving original compositions performed by their rotating collective of some of the most virtuosic, soulful and funky musicians in Boston. The band draws from the big band traditions established by American icons like Duke Ellington and Count Basie infused with grooves inspired by the likes of James Brown, The Meters, Fela Kuti and A Tribe Called Quest, creating an undeniably unique sound and a mind blowing live show experience. In addition to the local all-stars that play with the band regularly, BT ALC Big Band has also welcomed many special guests to join them for live performances including Fred Wesley, Sean Jones, Elise Testone, Eric "Benny"Bloom, Ryan Zoidis and Alan Evans. The band has released 5 studio albums of original material including their most recent release "Hearing The Truth" with guest appearances by John Medeski, Eric Krasno, G. Love, Adam Deitch, Karl Denson and Nigel Hall. BT ALC Big Band will also be releasing their 1st live album later this year.

The A-Beez are led by one of greater Boston's most talented musician couples: keyboardist extraordinaire, Amy Bellamy and powerhouse bassist, Aaron Bellamy. In addition to their own group, these two have played in the Sam Kininger band and backed up such great artists as Chaka Khan, Terri Lyne Carrington, G Love and the Juice, Res, Nth Power, Club D’elf and many others. Their music has its roots in soul, R&B, jazz and hip-hop - but when it comes down to it, they can safely be described as one of the funkiest bands around.
This show's all-star line up features: Brian Thomas - trombone, Alex Lee-Clark -trumpet, Amy Bellamy - keys, Aaron Bellamy - bass, Mark Zaleski - alto sax, Pete Levesque - alto sax, Jon Bean - tenor sax, Jared Sims - tenor sax, Ben Whiting - bari sax, Yaure Muniz - trumpet, Doug Olsen - trumpet, Mark Berney - trumpet, Ben Griffin - trombone, Clayton DeWalt - trombone, Rob Krahn - bass trombone, Jeffrey Lockhart - guitar, Yahuba Garcia-Torres - percussion, and TBD - drums!
