LMT CONNECTION are true masters of their craft. They've been together for 25 years, recorded five albums, played over 5000 shows including 12 tours of Europe (2003 - 2012), and most recently performed in China on the "Great Wall of Funk" tour (2013). They've remarkably held a 16 year residency at the legendary Orbit Room in Toronto on Wednesday nights. Their repertoire is both familiar and refreshing. Like an arrow pointing in two directions, LMT Connection evoke the Motown era while breaking new ground in contemporary music. And nowhere is this more evident than in their live performance. Emmanuel, who recently celebrated his 67th birthday, moves like a man half his age. As a rhythm section, Rogers and Irvine attack their instruments with such ferocity, it's hard to believe you're listening to a three-piece band. Orchestra is more like it. Even the stuffiest wallflowers can't resist the groove. Together they travel beyond mere nostalgia or entertainment into a dimension that transcends age, time or location. But words are only words. There is no substitute for the real experience; an experience that robs words of their meaning. To speak about LMT Connection in the third person is nothing like being there in person. So we'll let you decide! The Chops Horns started out doing recording sessions for a series of Gospel and R&B artists which led to a lengthy stint with the historic rap label, Sugarhill Records. They served as the horn section for The Police, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and many more.
