August 27 at ContainR: Delirium with Get It Funk

Ladies and Gentlemen, on August 27 we will be performing at ContainR at the Music and Market Square series. This is Outdoor Urban Friendly Music, ideally suited to Delirium. Get It Funk will be joining us. Show is 6PM or so to 8:30 PM.

John from Delirium is helping to organize the series. Many Thursdays this summer feature different music genres, and people are coming out with their family, their kids, their parents, their sweetie, their dog, and/or their dancing shoes. On August 27 come out and catch Brass and Funk.

Bring cash, it’s pay-what-you-can. (Put small bills in one easily accessible pocket, and throw a few extra $20s or $50s in a secret pocket in case you have the best time of your life. If you’re having a hard time making rent this month, just bring your smile.)

We have some new tunes that you will love!
