Description

Fred Wesley and James Brown’s backing band, The JBs, deliver a timeless lesson in the history of funk.

Beginning his career with Ike and Tina Turner, he later became musical director, arranger and composer for the Godfather of funk himself, James Brown, and arranged for and played with Parliament-Funkadelic.

Wesley became the world’s most famous sideman through his work with Brown, defining the language of funk for years to come, alongside working with Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Usher, Pee Wee Ellis, and more.

Following three sold-out shows with us last year, we're bringing the living legend to Union Chapel.

Presented by Columbo Music.
