Vancouver’s Brass Camel is going to be performing Live at the Arts Station on August 30th. Recently returned from their first national tour, a successful run to Montreal and back, their performance at the Arts Station stage will be the band’s first appearance in Fernie.

Brass Camel is a unique rock group who recently released their debut album, mixed by multiple Juno-winner Ben Kaplan. Made up of five experienced twenty-somethings whose collective accomplishments include performing at New York’s Apollo Theatre, jamming with guitar icon Les Paul and hundreds of studio sessions, their sound is unique but one can hear the influence of titans such as Supertramp, Rush, Herbie Hancock and Yes. Several of the group’s recent performances have sold out and last year Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar named Brass Camel as his favourite Canadian band.
