The brass showcase of the season, Hark the Horns features three New York State brass bands from 8 to 11pm at The Avalon Lounge. Brass Queens of New York City are an all-female group, challenging the gender norms of the genre and playing classic hits by female artists. Brasskill is a play-everything-and-anything brass band out of Hudson. Pontoon has a new sound to surprise audiences—using traditional instruments to create warped versions of what the genre is considered to be.
