This Oakland-based band is known far and wide for its terrific horn section. Tower of Power has been bringing its unique brand of soulful, high-energy music to albums, audiences and collaborations for 50 years. Like so many “legacy” acts of its generation, Tower of Power has seen many players come and go; more than 60 musicians have cycled through the group. But founding members Emilio Castillo (tenor saxophone) and Stephen “Doc” Kupka (baritone sax)—plus longtime bassist Rocco Prestia and drummer David Garibaldi—keep the flame burning. They’ll be joined by a modern-day collection of top-flight players.
