More than a concert: It’s an electrifying experience!
NY’s finest funky disco kids Gentleman Brawlers, create a sonic blend of disco-based horn lines, sticky highlife guitar, and polyrhythms from West Africa, Trinidad, and Brazil. When the collective performs, it’s more than a concert: It’s an electrifying experience. Led by creative duo Becca Fox and Matt Walsh, the band channels musical inspo Talking Heads with their distinct brand of Afrofunk and indie dance music. A visual as well as auditory feast on stage, Canadian blog The Revue calls GB “tantalizing and intoxicating.”
Fox, leading an expandable cast of dancers, creates thrilling, immersive live shows. A multi-disciplinary artist of Haitian and Jewish descent, Fox embodies what it means to be mixed, taking virtuosic dance turns in an eclectic range of styles from rhythm tap and West African to pop-modern contemporary. With dance performances at the Metropolitan Opera (“Eurydice” and “Lucia di Lammermoor”) and numerous European TV ad campaigns to her credit, Fox brings a potent, incendiary presence to the stage that Arts Council of Greater New Haven described as “…airborne…half-vocalist, half-bird.”
Becca will lead a pre-show dance class!
