Calgary, AB
– Alberta is about to get a double shot of brass, jazz, funk and pop music with Delirium Street Party Brass and Ali Wick, on tour in late April/early May in support of their debut EP’s!

DELIRIUM STREET PARTY BRASS
Delirium Street Party Brass is a groundbreaking ensemble from Calgary, AB that is steadily building a reputation as one of the premiere brass bands in Canada. The group blends jazz elements from the New Orleans street band tradition with pop stylings, using its unique, percussion-and-horns-centered instrumentation to deliver a new take on the growing brass band genre.
DSPB features a diverse mix of the top jazz, soul, funk and pop musicians in Calgary, who represent three generations of professional musicians that all share a love for large ensemble energy and improvisation. The band’s lead singer Ali Wick is a powerhouse of pop with a unique style that blends numerous genres, while taking this diverse genre to a youth-based audience.
DSPB’s debut The Alberta Sessions EP is a reimagining of songs hand-selected by the Producers from the catalogue of our great legends of song in Alberta. The process of song selection was very thorough and without even trying, ended up producing 6 songs that are all penned by female, Alberta-born artists. Songs by Joni Mitchell, Kiesza, Jocelyn Alice, our own Ali Wick, Tegan and Sara, and Feist comprise this very special EP.
The EP was produced by 3-Time Juno Award winning Producer Scott Morin and DSPB band-leader John Abraham, with songs recorded and mixed at OCL Studios by Brennan Kennedy. The end result is an album that reinvents some of the classic songs from 6 of Alberta’s greatest songwriters through the lens of 12 uniquely talented jazz, pop and soulful musicians on the EP. For the upcoming Alberta-wide tour to launch this EP, Delirium Street Party Brass will be touring as a scaled down but still-meaty-8-piece-ensemble, filling each venue with their trademark brass band sound.

ALI WICK

Ali Wick is not only the lead singer and front-woman of DSPB, but a deeply talented singer, songwriter and recording artist in her own right. This tour will feature Ali performing her own special set of original songs, in addition to her role as singer in Delirium Street Party Brass. Ali will be performing a repertoire of new originals in support of her upcoming EP release which was recorded in Nashville, Calgary and Toronto and sees this raw, soulful and emotional artist step out with a set of autobiographical songs that relates deeply to a wide range of music fans.

Outdoor Performance and Memorial Procession at Car Free Sunday in Inglewood

Come to Inglewood on Sunday for the pedestrian street celebration. We're performing in front of Spolumbo's at 2PM and 3PM. We're playing songs from our upcoming "The Alberta Sessions EP" in a true "street band" format. We are also leading a procession New Orlean's style to celebrate and honour musicians lost in 2023, including Marvin Kee, Ian Tyson, Stacie Lynn Roper, Dan McKinnon, Andy Sparacino and Dean Clarke. Bring your instrument or your voice as we'll be handing out some sheet music so you can join us.

We love street party brass music, we love NOLA-style music, and we loved so many of these recently departed musicians. It's going to be great to honour them in a celebration of music and their lives. And, we'll be honouring living Alberta female songwriters too, with some of our other songs.

The street party is from 11:30 AM to 5:00PM.

But, stay after! Our friends
The Brass Tactics are playing Ironwood in the evening!

Pride Patio Party


PS Someone tagged the Brass Tactic's show with "Alberta's Best Brass Band". Ha Ha. Maybe there will be a throw-down like back in the days of Kid Ory and Buddy Bolden! Someone's trying to fire up a rivalry? We won't have it, unless it's one of those fun rivalries like the one with your little brother who you secretly love.

Hideaway Release Party with l'Omelette at Ironwood Feb 23

We're having a double-single release party by Delirium Street Party Brass with special guests l'Omelette. Delirium releases their "Hideaway" single, the first of their "Alberta Sessions" song project with Modern Brass Band interpretations of female Alberta Songwriters. We love the original by Kiesza! Eclectic art rock outfit L'omlette releases their single "Cool".

These two bands are reinventing modern music. L'omelette has proudly evaded description since their inception in 2017, blending music and visuals with vibrant, heady beats. Delirium Street Party Brass has been pushing the "modern brass" nascent genre, focusing on blending jazz interpretations from New Orleans street bands while making modern pop beats better with percussion and horns.

At
Ironwood Stage & Grill on the Music Mile in Calgary.

Delirium hosts Apollo Suns at the Canmore Legion

For immediate Release: Monday, December 19th, 2022

Calgary, AB – Canmore, AB is about to get a double shot of brass, jazz, funk and ska music on Thursday, December 29th at the Canmore Legion!
Celebrating the upcoming holiday season, Winnipeg based, 2-time Western Canadian Music Awards ‘Instrumental Artist of the Year’ winning ensemble Apollo Suns bring their incredible energy and unique mix of psychedelic jazz rock to Canmore for the first time on Thursday, December 29th, with local riot/brass band Delirium Street Party Brass opening up the festivities.
Apollo Suns are a band with incredible live performance experience and a fearless drive that has led to them creating a deep connection with the hearts of music fans all over Canada. A band that has toured Canada numerous times and has topped the Earshot! National radio charts, they are one of the more engaging live groups in the country and are guaranteed to throw a party in every town they hit.
Delirium Street Party Brass was formed in Calgary in 2012 and was initially inspired by the evolving ‘riot jazz’ brass bands (ie: The Soul Rebels, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Youngblood Brass Band) of the U.S. The band has artfully pushed the brass band genre further into ska, punk, jazz and party rock, focusing on high-energy music along with deep musicianship, tons of brass and percussion and strong female vocals.
