++Summer Concert Series at Look Park++

HAZMAT MODINE is “a uniquely intercontinental sonic collage encompassing a tremendous range of instrumental, vocal, and conceptual originality–all with a lot of soul and groove.” This dynamic eight-piece band has toured and performed original songs for 25+ years with genre-defying music that is quintessentially New York–vibrant international cultures meets American Roots. Diverse backgrounds in Gypsy Jazz, Downtown Avant Guard loft music, Blues, Soul, Country, Rock n’ Roll, and Roots is written and performed by musicians whose ages span every decade from their 20s to 70s.

Unique instrumentation matches virtuosic trumpet, saxophone, trombone, guitar, tuba, harmonica, drums, banjo, and violin with a fantastical array of folk instruments and guest performers. The extraordinary vocals by lead Wade Schuman are riveting, rousing, and emotive, and his mastery of harmonica is unparalleled.

Electric Earth Concerts presents the Juanito Pascual Trio on Friday, August 8, at 7:00, in the Temple Congregational Church. Following last year’s spectacular flamenco evening, guitarist Pascual returns with bassist Brad Barrett and Jose Moreno, percussion.
Juanito Pascual is an American-born flamenco guitarist and composer. He formed the Juanito Pascual Trio in 2011.

Brad Barrett is a bassist, improviser, and educator. His practice engages the tools of improvisation and southern musical traditions.

Jose Moreno is a percussionist, guitarist, singer and flamenco dancer.
