Brass Fire eight-piece band made up of area musicians
BRASS FIRE is a “horn band”. In addition to a full rhythm section consisting of a pianist, a guitarist, a drummer, and a bass guitarist, there is also a trumpeter, a trombonist, and two talented saxophonists. Also, the band members step forward and render individual vocal stylings. The musicians have unique backgrounds. Some have performed with military bands or on cruise ships, some are current or past school band directors, and all now play professionally with BRASS FIRE. Monday, July 20th, at the Irrigon Marina Park is NUKETOWN starting at 7:00pm. Nuketown is homegrown in Tri-Cities, Washington and has been playing music together for about the last 12 years. All four members sing as well as play instruments so this band has a lot of variety and something to please everyone! Although they are a country band (gotta have a fiddle in the band) they have been known to play a little R&B, classic rock, blues, and whatever requests come their way. Come enjoy a Nuketown evening! af Monday, July 27 th , at the Boardman Marina Park is Skweez the Weezle starting at 7:00pm. Skweez the Weezle was formed
