The Lowrider Band will be in Oaktown! (Original members of WAR!)

The Lowrider Band will be playing 2 shows at Yoshi's in Oakland CA on May 3rd and 4th.

This is a chance to see the harmonica wizard himself Lee Oskar, OG drummer Harold Brown, OG bassist BB Dickerson and the leader of the band (and of WAR) guitarist Howard Scott. If you want to hear WAR's music the way it is supposed to sound (live and in person)...be there for at least one of these shows. The rest of the band consists of; Lance Ellis on sax, Chuk Barber on congas and Telvis Ward on keys.

Since 1969, members of Lowrider Band have compiled a tapestry of quintessential songs and live performances so musically infectious that its moniker traces from Los Angeles to Mexico City and from London to Copenhagen. And the genius of this Southern California troupe is captured in the musical medley of Hispanic, African-American, Asian and mainstream cultures, resulting in monster compositions such as “Slippin into Darkness,” “Low Rider,” “9 to 5 (Ordinary Man),” “All Day Music” and many other chart-toppers.

Comprising four prolific, multi-platinum singer-songwriters, Howard Scott (guitar), Harold Brown (drums), Lee Oskar (harmonica) and B.B. Dickerson (bass), this dynamic team of accomplished musicians is guilty of dishing up many of the greatest tunes to permeate airwaves since the dawn of radio: “The Cisco Kid,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” “Spill the Wine” and “The World is a Ghetto” are a few more mega-hits from the band’s exhaustive discography.

cool

There must be a reason why...
I don't know.
