 nd\nEvent Date Begin: 2012-10-12\nEvent Date End: 2012-10-12\n\nTower's 40
  year odyssey actually began in 1968 when Emilio Castillo met Stephen 'Doc
 ' Kupka in July of that year. When Doc auditioned during a band rehearsal 
 at Emilio's house\, Emilio's father called him into the kitchen and offere
 d the following advice: 'Hire that guy\, he's got something.' Doc and his 
 signature baritone sax sound were now in the band\, and on August 13\, 196
 8\, Tower of Power\, as we know them today\, began playing gigs\, and soon
  became very well known in the area.\nAWB are widely regarded as one of th
 e best soul and funk bands in the history of music. Though perhaps best kn
 own for their timeless instrumental mega-hit 'Pick Up the Pieces' the band
 's strength actually lay in their consistently accomplished song-writing\,
  stretching across several gold selling albums and multi- grammy nominatio
 ns for the legendary Atlantic Records. Somewhat incongruously\, given thei
 r Scottish roots\, the six piece took the influences of their R&B heroes -
  people like Marvin Gaye\, James Brown\, Donny Hathaway and others - and d
 eveloped their own 'authentic' sound which was eagerly adopted by black au
 diences in the US and elsewhere.\n\nStart time: 8:00pm
