CARL FISCHER'S SUNSHINE CITY BRASS at Yoshi's Oakland

*Carl Fischer’s Sunshine City Brass* found its rhythm at a virtual intersection where the North met the South. It’s a music-based joyride all about brightening your day, drawing on the emotions of a fun freewheeling time. The group conjures up the vibes of the Big Easy, with the feel and energy of the Big Apple, coming to you straight from the Sunshine City, St. Petersburg, Florida. The idea for this band was sparked in 2013 by Fischer upon settling into his new home in St. Pete. “I thought it would be a really fun and positive thing to have a Saturday late afternoon brass band that paraded down Central Avenue in St. Pete, past all the restaurants and bars, and finally settled in at a bar called The Garden. However, shortly after coming up with the idea, The Garden closed.
