NO BS! BRASS BAND has quickly earned a reputation as a premiere band to see for heart-pounding energy and uncontrollable dancing. Based in Richmond, Virginia, they take their music into uncharted territory, embracing the spirit of New Orleans into its original East Coast modern funk and fearlessly combining elements of James Brown, John Coltrane, Michael Jackson, and Led Zeppelin into their fiercely original sound. Founders Reggie Pace and Lance Koehler have cast this 11-piece band in which nearly every member has had conservatory training, holding various degrees in music. They have the look of New Orleans with the raw sound all their own — music is a true definition of the “Richmond sound.
MICHELLE MALONE defies easy description. Wild-haired Rock God, political singer/songwriter, passionate performer with roots in church music–no single characterization tells the whole story. Over the course of this Atlanta native’s decades-spanning career, she’s collaborated with artists from Steve Earle to ZZ Top to Greg Allman, released more than a dozen records and gone indie when it still took guts. Equal parts badass guitar slinger and sweet songstress, Malone artfully balances her penchant for ripping it through the roof with masterful lyrical introspection and vocals that range from sublime to raucous. She’ll be performing songs from her 15th release, the self-produced “Slings and Arrows”, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard blues charts.
