New Orleans musical institution THE DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND return to Moe's Alley for a special Mardis Gras tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut release "My Feet Can't Fail Me Now".
ABOUT DDBB
For a band that has always been known for pushing boundaries forward, it was a bit of a dilemma when the Dirty Dozen Brass Band were faced with celebrating the 25th Anniversary of their debut release, “My Feet Can’t Fail Me Now.” The album heralded the coming of a new breed of brass band in the city of New Orleans, and for that matter, around the world. So how does a band known for their revolutionary spirit in a traditional world celebrate the anniversary? By looking forward, of course.
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band will be re-issuing the re-mastered version of the quintessential brass band album that has defined the modern brass band era since it’s original release via Topspin, a revolutionary digital platform that ensures efficient direct-to-fan digital delivery of music and much more.
In conjunction with the re-issue, the Dirty Dozen are embarking on a 19 city, three-week tour that will find the band performing the album, “My Feet Can’t Fail Me Now,” in it’s entirety. While the Dozen have always been known for re-inventing and re-arranging their stellar catalog, this tour will find the band digging deep into the repertoire and revisiting certain pieces that haven’t been played live since the original release of the album and even earlier. While tracks such as the title track and Blackbird Special have become showstoppers throughout the band’s career, tracks such as “I Ate Up the Apple Tree” and “Mary Mary” have been on the proverbial shelf for far too long. Don’t be surprised when banjos and marching drums return to the stage with ‘em. |
