Sarah Blacker brings her full band sound to Brandon Music on Saturday, April 14 with New England Groove Association. With roots in the folk, rock, jam-band and funk scenes, the group fuses their vibrant musical worlds together to create an original, soulful sound.
The collaboration, which often features special guests, is comprised of award-winning, internationally touring singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Blacker and Aaron Z. Katz, and Phil Selesnick on keyboards.
Blacker was named “Female Performer of the Year” in the 2013 New England Music Awards, and has built a devoted following both nationally and internationally via extensive touring, passionate singing and songwriting, and belief in the power of music. Her motto, #SongsSaveLives speaks to her work as a Music Therapist, and her rise on the jam-band concerts and festival scene. She feels enthusiastic about re-connecting/moving with this fun-loving group of people, now as an accomplished musician and performer.
Katz, with over 20 years of national and international touring experience, is the singer/songwriter/producer/drummer from the successful jam-band, Percy Hill. Percy Hill won the Jammy Award for “Album of the Year” in 2000 and continues sell-out rooms on the jam club and festival scene. The band recently reunited after an eight-year hiatus, to sold-out shows at Port City Music Hall in Portland, Maine and The Paradise, in Boston, Mass.
Saturday’s concert in Brandon begins at 7:30 p.m. Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for an extra $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB.
