Look out Eugene, some real
Southern hospitality is headed
to us all the way from the
streets of the French Quarter.
The boisterous, Grammy award-
winning funked-up Rebirth
Brass Band is set to crash land
at WOW Hall. This highly evolved
amalgamation of funk, jazz,
soul and traditional brass band
music puts on a hair-raising and
loud stage show that will have
you wondering why you haven’t
headed to the Big Easy recently.
With 30 years of live
performing under their belts,
these veteran troubadours have
the chops and the horn-power
to blow you away. Sharing the
stage will be New Orleans indie-
rock sensation The Revivalists, a
band whose music is the perfect,
slightly quieter complement to
the in-your-face style of RBB.
We suggest nabbing your tickets
for this one soon — it will be
thick in there when these bands
hit the stage, and there will be
dancing in the hall.
Rebirth Brass Band play with
The Revivalists 9 pm Thursday,
April 5, at WOW Hall; $18 adv.,
$20 door.
