Brass Camel is a unique Vancouver-based rock group made up of five experienced young musicians, their collective accomplishments include performing at New York's Apollo Theater, jamming with guitar icon Les Paul, racking up countless studio sessions and covering hundreds of thousands of miles on the road before coming together. Recently having released their debut album, mixed by multiple Juno-winner Ben Kaplan, Brass Camel's singular sound mashes together the diverse influences of prog, funk, blues rock and fusion then ties them together with the kind of neat bow only attained by five musicians who are gunning for glory on the same frequency. The band's musicianship, songwriting and work ethic have led to endorsements from such companies as Sabian, Rotosound UK and Los Cabos. After a string of consecutive sell-out shows in Vancouver, the Camel embarked on their first national tour of Canada, a successful 13,500km undertaking. Capping off a transformative 2023 with a performance alongside Five Alarm Funk at a sold out Commodore Ballroom, Brass Camel is embarking on a ten week coast-to-coast tour of Canada in spring 2024 which aims to set the stage for the band to tour extensively in the months and years to come.
