Featuring some of Memphis' best-known and most talented musicians, Elmo & the Shades will turn any event into a rollicking, classic, rhythm-and-blues PARTY!
Lead singer Elmo Lee Thomas, the big man with the big voice, will take you on a musical tour of the best blues, R&B, and funk favorites of the last 40 years. Elmo's renowned bandmates include bassist John Groesse, drummer Lawrence Harper, horn greats Mickey Gregory and Tommy Lee Williams (both were in the house bands at Stax and Hi Records and appeared on numerous hits by Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, and many more), and the legendary Skip Pitts, "the master of the wah-wah" whose signature licks on Isaac Hayes' "Shaft" are instantly recognizable. And when your event needs a little extra sizzle, Elmo often enlists Trixie, former star of The Bouffants and The Venus Mission, to add her sexy, soulful vocals.
With Elmo & the Shades, you'll get a group of entertainment professionals whose reputations and versatility are unmatched in Memphis. They can play soft jazz during dinner and then turn up the heat for all-night dancing to party classics. More than another tribute to Memphis music, this band created Memphis music -- and it's one of the tightest, funkiest, and most crowd-pleasing groups you'll ever hear!
