Euphoria Brass Band at California Center For the Arts Escondido
October 3
Euphoria Brass Band is an award winning, critically acclaimed seven-to-eight piece group founded in 2011 by longtime New Orleans residents David Bandrowski (banjo/guitar) and Ron Bocian (snare drum), who both now call San Diego home. Playing a mix of New Orleans infused brass band jazz, funky street beats, and new school edginess with a West Coast vibe, they gig frequently at club and restaurant dates, festivals such as Gator by the Bay and Fiesta Del Sol, corporate functions and weddings, and even the occasional funeral. In concert, as well as on their debut full-length Coast To Coast, the setlist is usually a mix of traditional New Orleans jazz tunes, funky contemporary tracks, and a sprinkling of inventive originals. For this Escondido performance, the group will be accompanied by singer Rey Wolf.
