Lightship Summer Concert Series: The Mellotones LIVE at Lightship!!

The Mellotones are back for the second time, here at Lightship! We had so much fun last year at our SOLD OUT show we had to bring them back again!

if you don’t know who they are:
The Mellotones have been bringing their high-octane party to stages around the world for over two decades. Lighting up dance floors wherever they go, the R&B Funk band is an 8-piece powerhouse. From weddings to festivals to late-night clubs and corporate events, their energetic show provides the perfect atmosphere for any occasion.

Combining powerful vocals, dynamic horns, and a groovy rhythm section with a catalogue that dives deep into the history of soul, funk, disco, and R&B music, The Mellotones recall an era dominated by the classics of Motown, Stax, and Chess Records.

Drawing on a wealth of experience as road-tested backup musicians, and as seasoned session players for ECMA and JUNO Award winning artists, The Mellotones are a hard-working collective of some of the region’s best performers.

​Over their long career the band has garnered a devoted fan base. They’ve also had the opportunity to perform with such artists as David Foster, Dan Akroyd, The Free Nationals, Nathan East, and even Dennis Rodman. The Mellotones served as a backing band for renowned blues guitarist Matt Andersen for a 2018 national tour that was documented on the record Matt Andersen and The Mellotones Live at Olympic Hall.

Ideal for any event, The Mellotones are a sure fire party hit guaranteed to deliver a night of exceptional entertainment for the young and young at heart.
