Gabrielle Octavia Rucker
is a writer and literary radio experimentalist from the Great Lakes. Her work has appeared in various media and publications, including the Sundance Film Festival, the Studio Museum in Harlem, Montez Press Radio, Dance Lawyer, and more. Her debut poetry collection is forthcoming from The Song Cave in 2022.
Brothers of Brass
is a New Orleans style brass band based in Denver. In 2014, they started small and from very humble roots, sharing horns, until they had saved enough money to get horns for everyone. Nowadays they’ve grown to a full size brass band with 8 to 10 players at any given point. With influences ranging from R&B to southern brass and psychedelic jam rock to trap hip hop, Brothers of Brass boasts a wide musical lexicon with a little something for everyone.
See you there!!
