    About This Event

    Stretch Armstrong is a third‑wave ska group formed in Provo in 1990, centered on singer Scott Van Wagenen and later settling into a horn‑driven lineup that draws on punk, jazz and circus‑band mischief. They bring their emphasis on speed and physical release—where dancing and moshing are treated as part of the arrangement—to Public Records' Block Party Brunch.

    Stretch Armstrong

    Stretch Armstrong is a third‑wave ska group formed in Provo, Utah, in 1990, built around longtime singer Scott Van Wagenen as the lineup evolved. By the mid‑1990s the band had settled into a horn‑driven configuration with rhythm section, guitar, and keyboards, shaping a sound that pulls from punk, jazz, and a touch of circus-band mischief.
