We are more than past the Mardi Gras season but this is upstate NY! Kyle Yagielski and his band the Brass Machine bring their 21st century version of Dixieland throughout upstate NY. They brought their party to the Lost and Found with a stop the night before @ Nanola. With musicians from all over upstate NY, this edition of the band had 3 trombones, sousaphone, saxophone, drums, keyboard and electric guitar. Covers of NOLA standards like “Iko Iko”, “ Right Place Wrong Time”, “Its All Over Now” were played along with rock and roll such as “Johnny B. Goode” and “Come Together”. A great time was had by all.
