Blues and Brass Winter Tour New York Performances

The Blues and Brass Winter Tour arrives at Brooklyn Bowl as a live set built around the friction between horn-driven arrangements and guitar-forward song craft. Bonerama brings a New Orleans brass-band logic to rock and pop structures, while Tab Benoit anchors the bill with blues-rooted playing and a songwriter’s sense of space. In New York, touring packages like this tend to read as a small survey of regional American scenes translated for a club audience. The most telling detail is how the brass doesn’t decorate the songs so much as reroute them.
