The Po' Boys Brass Band - 4:00pm-5:30pm
The Po'Boys Brass Band is a New Orleans-style brass/funk/rock band. The four-trombone front produces a sonic explosion of sound not known by any other brass band standard. From New Orleans standards, to classic rock covers, to funky original music, the Po'Boys are sure to make you dance!
Founded by a bunch of trombone players that was fed up with sitting in the back of orchestras and jazz bands, the Po’Boys Brass Band is a 7-piece power house of funk/jazz/blues and rock. The four-trombone front line produces a sonic explosion of sound that breaks all preconceived notions of what the trombone is capable of. Supporting the trombone powerhouse is a chops-to-spare backline of guitar, drums, and sousaphone…that’s right, a funky old sousaphone. The band plays original charts as well as some tasty covers, conjuring up anything from Stevie Wonder and Tower of Power to Led Zeppelin and Edgar Winter. The band’s close ties to the great city of New Orleans guides the group spiritually, owing a lot of their sound concepts to the Rebirth Brass Band, Bonerama, the Dirty Dozen, Professor Longhair, The Meters, Dr. John, and many more.
The Burns Sisters - 6:00pm - 8:00pm
The Burns Sisters have been singing together all their
lives. Marie, Annie and Jeannie Burns
provide a blend of sweet vocals, countrified pop-rock, and diary-inspired
tales of longing, love, loss, regret and affirmation. Marie finds inspiration in bluegrass,
Jeanie prefers the blues and Annie is the contemporary folkie. Marie sings high harmony, Alto Jeanie sings
low harmony and Annie is a second soprano singing high or low harmonies, depending
on the song. Their music is comprised of beautiful harmonies, emotional
lyrics, joyous, uplifting, catchy tunes and a sweet, spunky sound that is
part folk, part rock, part country and all heart.
