Free: Concert In St. Louis' Lafayette Park Saturday Night

The Funky Butt Brass Band will perform at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 16 in Lafayette Park at 2023 Lafayette Avenue in St. Louis.

FBBB says it “takes traditional New Orleans brass tunes and gives them a funky flavor, in the style of the Dirty Dozen and Rebirth Brass Bands, but don’t be surprised if you also hear a little Motown, some Southern rock and a touch of straight-ahead Chicago blues.”
