Brass & Grass is an ear-bending collaboration of funky New Orleans jazz and traditional bluegrass by Central Ohio favorites, New Basics Brass Band and The Relentless Mules. Taste how the common ingredients of gospel, blues, swing, and improvisation stir together into this toe-tapping gumbo. Whether reinterpreting others (James Brown, Allen Toussaint, Professor Longhair) or showcasing their originals, New Basics Brass Band causes a mix of happy feet, cold sweats and genuine awe at how the band can be so progressive yet authentically traditional at the same time. The Relentless Mules are five of the drivin'est young acoustic musicians you'll find in central Ohio -- dobro, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bass anchor the sweet three-part singing of the band's energetic and heartfelt vocalists. This truegrass band draws from the classic songbooks of Flatt and Scruggs, The Osbourne Brothers, Bill Monroe, Reno and Smiley, among others.
