On Saturday, October 25, 8pm-12am, The Gowanus Studio Space will host the launch of Habitus 04: New Orleans. The event is complete with performances by the Sugartone Brass Band and beer from Kelso of Brooklyn!
The Sugartone Brass Band is New York’s premiere New Orleans-style brass band devoted to bringing the traditions of the Big Easy to the Big Apple. They have been featured in New York City’s Annual Halloween Parade since 2004. The Sugartone Brass band is dedicated to promoting the traditions of New Orleans’ music worldwide. Their first album, “Live from Brooklyn,” was released in February.
A donation of $10 is recommended.
