Connecticut indie rockers The Brazen Youth to perform at the Kate on July 5
The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, welcomes back local trio The Brazen Youth on Wednesday, July 5, 2023 at 7:30 pm. Lewis on Friday, June 23 at 8:00 pm.
The Brazen Youth are a band formed within the otherworldly vacuum of the 300-year-old Ashlawn Farm, located in Lyme, Connecticut and consisting of Nic Lussier, Charles Dahlke and Micah Rubin. “Eagle, Idaho,” the fourteen track full-length LP continues upon the path The Brazen Youth set for themselves with 2022’s “Changing” EP. The new record was born out of shared experience as three friends confronted a beloved parent’s sudden passing, and navigated the early years of an adulthood stilted by the warped reality of the pandemic.
As they have with past releases, The Brazen Youth recorded the new album at Charlie’s Ashlawn Recording Company studios at Ashlawn Farm. The studio itself has grown up with the band, as has Charlie’s production prowess, to the point where musicians now come cross country to record there. But for nearly two months, The Brazen Youth had the studio to themselves, and woke up every day to record something new for “Eagle, Idaho.” Along the way they were heavily influenced by the freeness and liberty they heard on records like the Charles Mingus and Joni Mitchell collaboration “Mingus,” Paul Simon’s “Graceland,” the discography of Arthur Russell and Big Thief’s “Two Hands.” The record was entirely produced by the band, but inspired by Great Grandpa’s “Four of Arrows,” they reached out to that album’s producer/mixer Mike Vernon Davis to mix the recording.
Funk, R&B, and soul trombonist and vocalist Sophia Griswold opens. As the leader of the band Sophia Griswold and The Grizzlies, she specializes in playing popular music with a unique emphasis on the horn section. Sophia is a former member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Youth Orchestra and the 2019 All-National Jazz Band.
