London-based Young Gun Silver Fox are proud to announce they will be performing in Toronto for the first time ever on March 12th. The dynamic musical duo of Andy Platts and Shawn Lee are touring in support of Ticket To Shangri-La, their fourth studio album and finest work to date. The ten-track album is a masterful blend of mid 70s to early 80s contemporary Pop/Soul, AOR, and sunny beachside grooves. Young Gun Silver Fox is excited to bring the west coast vibe showcased in their music to North America. Shawn states, “Bringing this music back to it’s spiritual home is a dream come true for us.”
Young Gun Silver Fox’s upcoming tour dates will be the first opportunity for fans to see the London-based dyad perform live in North America. Joined by Dave Page on bass and Adrian Meehan on drums (and two horn players for select shows), Young Gun Silver Fox’s live show takes the essence of their records distilled down to a live band format. Andy states, “Our live show is all sunshine and feel-good vibes plus I would also say that we double down on the groove and soulful side of things. Expect intense aural pleasure!” Hearing the music live promises a unique experience, Shawn explains, “We do smooth and buttery of course but there’s an intensity and explosiveness to what we do live that gives our songs a supercharged lease of life.”
