ABOUT ABOUT

After a sold-out BLU debut last May, Billboard chart-topping smooth jazz saxophonist returns to the Rubber City from Detroit and brings classic soul-jazz funk into the modern day with his high-energy band!

With his explosive, melodically infectious, soulful and grooving debut on Woodward Avenue Records, innovative & hard-grooving smooth jazz saxophonist Deon Yates opens a hands-on "School of Funk" to show young players and contemporary urban jazz lovers of all ages how it’s done.

More specifically, with the in-the-pocket assistance of producer, co-writer and keyboardist Nate Harasim – who plays Fender Rhodes and organ throughout the album – Yates offers a spirited refresher on classic soul-jazz funk and a primer on where the genre is heading in the future.

Get your tickets today and join us as we bring the sounds of Detroit to the Rubber City in this hard-grooving Saturday night show!
