Cosmo Soul Express Band at CosmoFEST
Saturday June 3, 2023
Free Main Stage Performance — 3:30 pm
Cosmo Music | 10 Via Renzo Dr, Richmond Hill ON
The original Cosmo Music staff ensemble, Cosmo Soul Express Band was born out of the need for good music. In 2004, the Cosmo Music staff and some industry partners were looking for a band to perform in the downtimes after musical conferences. After doing due diligence and looking for a good local band, they realized one thing — they were all talented musicians in their own right. Now, we are lucky to have them grace the Main Stage once again at CosmoFEST!
Considered a horn band, Cosmo Soul Express Band plays a lot of R&B, disco, Motown, and pop hits — keeping you on your feet dancing. Cosmo Soul Express Band plays at the OMEA Conference, charity events, and CosmoFEST primarily featuring Cosmo staff, alumni, and other industry friends.

The Ontario Music Educators Association (OMEA) holds an annual conference at which educators and music retailers from across the province get together for three days to talk about what’s new in the industry, attend workshops, and so much more. There’s one problem when everyone is together though — what is there to do in the evenings? In 2004, the Cosmo Music team (and industry friends) thought that they should hire a band to do just that. After doing due diligence and looking for a good local band, they realized one thing — they were all talented musicians in their own right! The new concept was born — Cosmo Soul Express Band. A band that was formed with the sole intent to entertain teachers and educators while in town for this incredibly important annual conference. The Cosmo team had been working with these educators for years on a professional level, and here was the perfect opportunity to get on stage and show them what they were made of!
