 America’s premier contemporary polka band, and two-time Grammy award-winners (most recently for Best Polka Album for Let’s Kiss, in the 2005 Grammy Awards), now in their second quarter century! To name only some of the colors found on Brave Combo's musical palette, one can describe them as a groundbreaking world music act, a hot jazz quintet, a rollicking rock'n'roll bar band, a Tex-Mex conjunto, a sizzling blues band, a saucy cocktail combo, a deadly serious novelty act, a Latin orchestra, and one of America's dance bands par excellence.
It's all in a night's music for Brave Combo, whose shows include everything from klezmer surf rock to rocking cha cha to what The Washington Post calls "mosh pit polka," as well as to the hokey pokey and the chicken dance. And zyedeco, acid rock, Muzak, bubblegum, cumbia, classical, and the twist, to still not exhaust the list. This plethoric multitude of musical styles and flavors is frequently mixed, matched, and melded, into delicious, new concoctions by an imaginative team of musical gourmet master chefs. Brave Combo's quarter century of music certainly displays a fascinating yin and yang mix of the utterly and delightfully surreal, juxtaposed with perfect sense and wisdom. What bandleader Carl Finch calls its "barrage of incongruous elements" flows from its deep sincerity, outstanding musicianship, and a firm belief that music should be fun and life-affirming.
Minneapolis' favorite horny band The Brass Messengers will kick off the evening in style with a rousing global parade of tunes.
Limited seating available--highly recommended!
