PUTNEY-Kotoko Brass will perform Saturday, Sept. 26, at 3 p.m. at Putney Inn Field, 57 Putney Landing Rd.
The band “delivers an electrifying, cross-cultural sound that bridges continents and traditions,” according to a news release from Next Stage Arts. The music fuses “Central Ghanaian drumming with Caribbean bass and keys and the exuberant punch of New Orleans-style horns,” organizers added.
Originally formed by brothers Ben Paulding (drums) and Brian Paulding (trombone), the band also features percussionists Attah Poku and Kwame Ofori, M’Talewa Thomas on bass, Yusaku Yoshimura on keyboards, Andy Bergman on tenor saxophone, and Dillon Zahner on guitar.
Kotoko Brass “has built a following through high-energy shows that get crowds moving,” organizers said in the news release.
The show will conclude Next Stage Arts’ Bandwagon Summer Series of outdoor concerts. Food will be available from Saffron Restaurant.
Gates open at 2 p.m. Tickets are $24 at nextstagearts.org or $28 at the gate. Children under 12 are admitted free.
