CORY WEEDS MEETS CHRIS HAZELTON

Fri, Nov 14

Tenor saxophonist Cory Weeds teams up with powerhouse organist Chris Hazelton for a two-week tour that will culminate in Vancouver, where the band will head into the studio to record. Joined by the soulful guitar work of David Rourke and the deep-pocket groove of drummer Rudy Petschauer, this classic organ quartet brings a perfect blend of grit, swing, and soul to every performance. The chemistry between Weeds’ robust, lyrical tenor sound and Hazelton’s rich Hammond organ playing creates an irresistible energy that channels the golden era of jazz organ groups. Audiences along the tour will be treated to a dynamic set filled with blues-soaked originals, clever arrangements, and a unique twist: fresh reimaginings of tunes from Huey Lewis and the News’ iconic Sports album from 1983. By the time they land in Vancouver to record, the group will be locked in and firing on all cylinders, delivering music that is at once steeped in tradition and refreshingly inventive.
