BONEY FIELDS. THE KING OF BLUES AND FUNK

13. AUGUST 18.00



Sunday
2023


Five years ago, legendary American singer, jazz trumpet player and showman Boney Fields lit up the Great Hall of the Great Amber with his boundless energy. This summer, he is returning to the stage of the Great Amber to remind the residents and guests of Liepāja once again that he is, and will always remain, the King of Blues and Funk.

Fields skillfully combines both components of Great Black Music, funk and blues, in his work. The artist comes from Chicago and creates while traveling all over the globe and participating in prestigious festivals like Jazz à Vienne, Jazz in Marciac, Madajazzcar, Tabarka Jazz Festival, and others. The stage is where the artist has succeeded in creating his own unique style, a combination or retro and futuristic blues with brass funk. 

‘Real music by real musicians,’ the world-famous American musician Prince once precisely described Fields’ work. Just like Prince, Boney Fields is also part of a generation of African American musicians who were born to conquer the stage.

The concert at the Great Amber will mostly feature music from his latest studio album, Bump City, as well as a unique opportunity for the audience to be among the first to hear several pieces from his upcoming album, about to be released this September.

Fields will be joined on stage by:

Jānis Kalniņš – guitar

Mārcis Kalniņš – bass

Atis Andersons – piano/organ

Raitis Kalniņš – drum
