The Colonial presents the Hot 8 Brass Band01:42PM / Thursday, January 22, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Colonial Theatre will present the Hot 8 Brass Band on February 7th at 8PM. Tickets for the performance range from $25-$35 and can be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street Monday-Friday 10-5, Saturday 10-2, by calling (413) 997-4444 or 24/7 online at www.TheColonialTheatre.org.
The Hot 8 Brass Band has been central to New Orleans street music for over a decade. Founded by Bennie Pete in 1995, the band has played in traditional Second Line parades, hosted each Sunday afternoon by a Social Aid and Pleasure Club, ever since. The Hot 8 are famous for playing all day in the sun, then hopping to a club gig and playing through the night. But even more than their boundless energy, what makes the Hot 8 special are the sounds they coax from their well-loved, well-worn horns.
The Hot 8 Brass Band has toured in Japan, Italy, France, Spain, Finland, England, and Sardinia. They play regularly at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival ("Jazz Fest") and have played in the Zulu Parade, San Antonio Zulu Association Festival, the City of New Orleans New Year's Celebration and Mo' Fest, the Tom Joyner Morning Show, and the Master P music video "Hootie Hoo".
The Hot 8 have been the featured band in an important relief project following Hurricane Katrina and the devastation wrought upon New Orleans. SAVE OUR BRASS! is a local grass-roots project that has brought music to evacuee shelters, temporary trailer parks, and communities that have reached out to New Orleanians. As a result, the Hot 8 Brass Band has been featured on CNN, Nightline, and WDSU-TV (New Orleans) and in the New York Times.
The Hot 8 played in the Village Halloween Parade and in Central Park in New York and Putumayo World Music's Concert of Thanksgiving in New Orleans. They are currently recording their second album.
