Live Music Schedule

Session I – Friday Evening
The Falling Martins

The Falling Martins are a five-piece rock band with diverse foundations in rock, pop, folk, country, jazz, and more. Their lush harmonies, rhythmic and textured guitars, harmonically imaginative keyboards, and flowing and grooving bass, drums, and percussion are seamlessly integrated into a cohesive sound that evokes the best of American music. Whether playing their many original songs, or spinning off their tasteful selection of cover songs, the Falling Martins are grabbing the attention of more and more listeners week after week. The band has performed well over 250 live shows since its inception in 2001, solidifying both its experience and chemistry.

Session II – Saturday Afternoon
The BlueTones

The BlueTones are a five-piece band consisting of Debra Batey, lead vocals, Steve Batey, guitar and vocals, Rich Kasznel, guitar and vocals, Mike Dreyer, drums and percussion and Mark (Schweig) Schweighoefer, bass.  They play a pleasing blend of blues, R&B and Rock covers ranging from Aretha Franklin and Rickie Lee Jones to Bonnie Rait and Sara McLachlan along with the band’s interpretations of some classic songs too.

Session III – Saturday Evening
Spontaneous Nugent

If you’re lucky, you caught them at Live on the Levee last summer. If you’ve never heard them, here’s your chance!

 

 

Session IV – Sunday Afternoon
The Funky Butt Brass Band

The Funky Butt Brass Band was formed in 2008 by six musicians who revere and respect the New Orleans brass band tradition. Made up of members of Gumbohead, The Feed, Musica Slesa, Bob Kuban’s Everyday People and other St. Louis musical groups, the FBBB takes traditional New Orleans brass tunes and gives them a funky new flavor, in the style of the Dirty Dozen or Rebirth Brass Band. Don’t be surprised if you also hear a little Motown, Southern rock, blues and some straight-ahead ’70s funk to go along with the second line “street beat” groove. The Funky Butt Brass Band is guaranteed to get your toes tapping, your feet marching and kick any party into overdrive.
