Duck Soldier (music band)

I am always amazed at young kids who play in a music band, particularly because I grew up alongside with my brothers with classical piano musical training. We performed in public and gave concerts, but I never really felt that we were a rock band because we didn’t perform all together (each one played a piece or two at each concert). That’s why I love music bands, particularly those that are really young. And Duck Soldier won my heart this weekend at Fraser Fest 2011 in New Westminster.

Duck Soldier is a band composed of several youngsters (all of them look in their teens) and mostly a R&B/Soul/Funk band. We rocked and danced at Aretha Franklin’s Respect, Would I Lie To You (Annie Lennox) and several others. My video may not capture the quality of their music, but I really liked them. And more importantly, the effort that they paid to entertain the audience was really what made the evening.

From their Facebook bio:

The most soulful funk band in town! Dropping the beautiful funky vibes all over New West and beyond, this 15-piece juggernaut will knock you out with their fantastic renditions of classic soul music. They also are doing what they can to save the planet, preaching racial and spiritual harmony, and an all-out war against environmental degradation!!
