The Brass Balagan is based out of Burlington and Central Vermont. Founded in 2010, we are a street brass band with roots in klezmer, Balkan, and banda music. We are available for weddings, birthday parties, anti-imperialist causes, bar mitzvahs, shopping mall ribbon-cutting ceremonies, corporate functions, and gun shows. The Brass Balagan demands the immediate elimination of all evil.

Spencer Lewis and the New Old Vermonters - Sunday, August 28 @ 4 pm

Spencer's signature sound combines the precision of the acoustic guitar with the sustained elegance of the violin. On stage, layered guitar loops and violin overdubs allow him to move in unpredictable directions, often spontaneously, to mirror or eclipse the music from his 26 album catalog.

​

All performances are 1 hour starting at 4 pm. Bring a chair, blanket, picnic! Kids welcome. We will move into the Opera House in the event of inclement weather.
