Dirty Dozen Brass Band to perform

SFF Presents returns with another electric Summer Concert at Sisters Art Works with a rare Pacific Northwest performance from the genre-bending New Orleans-based Dirty Dozen Brass Band on Friday, July 26, in Sisters. Tickets are available at https://aftontickets.com/dirty-dozen-brass-band.

Celebrating over 45 years since their founding in 1977, the Grammy Award-winning Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres, including bebop jazz, funk, and R&B/soul. This unique sound, described by the band as a "musical gumbo," has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than 30 countries, record 12 studio albums, and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Four and a half decades later, the seven-piece Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world-famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances.

Also performing in the concert series is legendary Colorado folk band, Elephant Revival on Thursday, August 1, followed by the free Hometown Hang concert on Thursday, August 8, celebrating regional talent with Erin Cole Baker, Dennis McGregor and The Spoilers, and the Joel Chadd Band.

The concerts will be held at the Sisters Art Works venue located at 204 W. Adams Ave. in downtown Sisters. Doors open at 6 p.m. with shows starting at 7 p.m. Additional band and ticket information is available at https://www.sffpresents.org/concerts. These are general admission, all ages shows.
