Eight piece R&B band with Denise Pelley and Tom Starks. Folks familiar with Tom’s projects know this will be an exceptional evening.

 

For over four decades, the members of Rhythm Nocturne have been playing and performing in various bands throughout North America. This nine piece group has come together for this special evening to bring you R&B and Soul classics from the 60s and 70s. It’s been said that dynamic vocals by Denise Pelley and Al Trudell, a super tight four piece horn section, and a stellar rhythm section that includes Aylmerite Tom Starks are a killer combo.  Bring your boogie shoes, Rhythm Nocturn is going to knock your socks off.
