Music Makes a Difference! presents an exciting night showcasing three local musician groups! Please join us in supporting our first ever Local Bands Showcase; proceeds from the show will go to Savory Sunday, a longstanding local nonprofit that cooks a hot meal for homeless individuals every Sunday afternoon.
The lineup includes:
Mal-O-Dua
, the love-child of two artists who fuse Hawaiian music with French gypsy jazz (and that is just putting it simply!). They feature a slack key guitar, bottle neck guitar, standard tuned guitar, and ukulele. If all of this hasn’t convinced you yet….well, you’re hard to convince!
Panchromatic Steel,
a steel drum band playing authentic island calypso, jazz, classical and even some familiar pop/rock tunes. Do you know what a steel drum or steel pan is?!? Get ready for this mouthful: “the steel drum is a sawed-off 55-gallon oil drum with the top stretched into a bowl shape and painstakingly hand-hammered to create tone-producing centers, which are struck by rubber-tipped mallets.” So yeah, you know that this is a show you don’t want to miss!
Primitive Culture
, a band that blends funk, rock, reggae, Latin, rhythm & blues: say that five times fast!! They whip up some majorly danceable tunes with the masterful use of guitar, drums, bass, percussion, horns, and of course, saxophones.
