Brass Camel is a unique Vancouver-based rock group whose singular sound mashes together the diverse influences of prog, funk and rock music. The band's musicianship, songwriting and work ethic have led to endorsements from such companies as Sabian, Rotosound UK and Vater and the group has performed over 120 concerts since the release of their debut album "Brass" in late 2022. Among these shows are two successful national tours of Canada, numerous summer festivals including Between the Peaks, Starbelly Jam, and Wapiti Festival, and performances in such esteemed venues as Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom and Vogue Theatre as well as a headline performance at Toronto's historic Longboat Hall. Working with multiple Juno winner Ben Kaplan, the group has completed the recording of a second full length LP which shows a remarkable development in the group's writing and arrangement abilities. With a slated release of March 2025 and a Canada/US tour to follow, Brass Camel seeks to further build an audience for their strange brew.

SELECTED PRESS
"This Vancouver based triad of musical masterminds have crafted an album that will without failure stand the test of time, and you’d regret it if you didn’t grant it a thorough listening."
-RED ROCK MAGAZINE:
"Channeling a signature blend of blues, funk, and 70s prog rock, Brass Camel’s grasp of rhythmic texture and song composition create a daring synthesis of musical energy that turns genre conventions on their head.
-Canadian Beats
"In an age when music has become maddeningly predictable, you just gotta sit up and take notice when a band like Brass Camel comes along. Brass ties in beautifully with so many bands and songs that I already enjoy but it's a totally fresh and thrilling adventure at the same time. These guys show no fear and this album is the BALLS. Rock and roll is exciting again."
-The Rock Dog
"Mark my words, get to know this band now, because they are only getting started, and they are truly a major musical force to be reckoned with, as this fine album attests."
-Progarchy
