September 13th at 7:00pm
Southernmost Brass is a seven piece horn band formed by guitarist/vocalist Mike Emerson that performs a wide variety of music styles, all featuring the sound of a powerful horn section. From the big band jazz sounds of swing (ie, Ellington, Basie, Sinatra,), the foot tapping jump jive songs (ie, Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, Brian Setzer), classic R&B/funk/Motown/rock (ie, Chicago, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Temptations, Stevie Wonder), bossa nova/salsa/mambo latin sounds (ie, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chuck Mangione), to the blues (ie, Blues Brothers, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn), they all utilize the horn arrangements that are a key part of the sound of those musical styles.
