TEEN TALENT SHOWCASE

KICK-BRASS

Kick-Brass is a teen brass band from here in Oak Harbor that specializes in high-energy and electrifying brass music. Made up of just a few high school students, Kick-Brass has played locally at restaurants, public events, parades, and even roller skating rinks, all in just a single year! Members include; Colton on the sousaphone, Ethan on the baritone sax, Jake on the trumpet, Mya on the drums, and Oliver on the tenor sax. They are beginning to gain traction off island and are stoked to be back on stage once again for the festival this year! Be sure to keep updated on their socials like YouTube and Instagram (@kickbrass_official) because who knows? They may be coming to you next!

Gideon Freudmann

Gideon Freudmann is a cellist and composer who has redefined the role of the instrument for over three decades. He is perhaps best known for adapting the amplified cello to craft the distinct ‘CelloBop’ sound, consisting of a unique blend of classical, jazz, folk, rock, blues and funk. Using foot-operated effect pedals, he has brought cello playing into new territories of looping, soaring, multi-layering and improvisation. His music is complex, nuanced, creative and compelling.
