  • Delgres Power Blues Trio

    Delgres Power Blues Trio

    Fronted by Pascal Danae, who has worked with artists from Peter Gabriel to Neneh Cherry, Delgres takes its name from Louis Delgrès, a 19th-century resistance leader who died fighting Napoleon’s campaign to reintroduce slavery to the French Caribbean.

    Delgres’s sound is inspired by brass band traditions of both the Caribbean and the American south, and evokes modern bands such as The Black Keys and Hanni El Khatib. Their 2021 album, 4:00 AM, grapples with the crisis of displacement and forced migration in the Global South.

    Tickets are $20. Buy them HERE.
