The 10-piece Bay Area outfit is currently performing in the U.S., and has dates stretching from a show tonight in Beaver Creek, Colorado, all the way through a four-night, November 29-December 2 stand in Honolulu.
Tower of Power’s also promoting its 25th studio album, Soul Side of Town, which was released in June. Available on CD, as a two-LP vinyl set and digitally, the 14-track record finds the band delivering a collection of original tunes that blend soul, vintage R&B, funk, pop and rock.
