Veveritse
Bringing dance beats powered by brass and drums, Veveriste will
recreate the ambiance of a fête populaire for Bastille Day through the
sounds of trumpets, saxophones, mid-horns, tuba and drums. Based in
Brooklyn, the members of Veveritse finds their inspiration in the drama
of Balkan gypsy music, while the restless and creative energy of the
band pushes arrangements and repertoire into lands yet unvisited.

Les Chauds Lapins
Blending the sounds of French classics with early American jazz music,
Les Chauds Lapins (“The Hot Rabbits”) transport listeners to the
dynamic, sensuous sounds of French cabaret swing music from the 1920s
and 1940s. Led by New Yorkers Kurt Hoffman and Meg Reichardt, the
trendy group revitalizes traditional songs, recreating the ambience of
French music halls with banjo-ukes, guitar and winds on their new
album, Amourettes.
