Dirty Dozen Brass Band
I believe in patronizing a lot of live music, and one of my favorite venues is The Narrows in Fall River. A non-profit, they feature local art & crafts, theatre and American roots music.
Two upcoming shows of note are the legendary Dirty Dozen Brass Band, from down the Big Easy and for blues afficiandos, from the younger generation of African American bluesmen (he's in his 30's), Alvin Youngblood Hart.
From the Narrows press release: www.ncfta
This Friday we are proud/pleased to welcome back the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Direct from New Orleans, Louisiana, these boys will be bringing the party to the Narrows. These guys have been through a lot this year, let's give them a warm welcome from a capacity crowd.
