The Brass Kings December 21, 2010

This is a Holiday Benefit for the Homeless. Hailing from MIinneapolis, Minnesota, The Brass Kings play old-time instruments in very unconventional ways. In spite of the group's name, this is not a brass band. One of the most unconventional old-timey stringbands in town, their "ferocious, world-influenced rhythms take that old-timey sound down some unusual roads." Twin Cities guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Steve Kaul taps into old country blues, Latin rhythms, experimental music, Hawaiian slack-key, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern influences.
