The Wheel Company presents String Cheese Incident's Michael Kang (mandolin, violin, guitar) who joins Chris Berry's world fusion band, CB3 (Chris Berry Trio) and the rhythm section from the popular, 2009 Grammy-nominated electronic dance band Brazilian Girls in an ecstatic night of free-flying global fusion jamming. Fast-rising Bay Area group High Heat, featuring Sean Hodge opens the evening.
Chris Berry has sold more than one million albums in Southern Africa, where he is a star, and where his Zimbabwean band headlined huge concerts until that country's increasing strife forced Berry to return to the United States. Over the past few years Berry has worked to build community through his world-rooted music, focused on his electrified mbira (Zimbabwean thumb piano) as well as his singing and percussion playing. On this summer tour, CB3 has expanded with like-minded musicians. Playing what could loosely be labeled "Afro-dub meets reggae and jam band music," CB3 features Berry and Kang along with Brazilian Girls' drummer Aaron Johnston and bassist Jesse Murphy.
Proceeds from this very special performance benefit Seva Foundation. Advance tickets at Streetlight Records, 939 South Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz. All ages all the time. |  |
