Brattleboro Brass Band
Rappahannock County will be hosting one of the country’s premiere traditional American dance bands on Friday, August 2, at 8 p.m. in a combined street dance and concert.
The Brattleboro Brass Band from Vermont is an ensemble that plays swing, jigs, reels, waltzes and schottisches. They have been described as sounding like a combination of a Dixieland Jazz Band, a marching parade band, a tum-of-the-century quadrille band and a Jewish Klezmer band all rolled into one.
The audience is invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets and sit and listen to this extraordinary music and to get up and dance in the streets. In case of rain, the event will move to the Gay Street Theater.
The musicians are being brought to the area through the dual efforts of the Bluemont Concert Series and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Admission is $5 for the general public and $4 for RAAC members.
