Crush Funk Brass Band is a popular DC area band formed in 2022 and inspired by the brass music of the New Orleans second line parades organized by the Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs.  Crush Funk adds an “urban Capital City modern fun(k) twist” according to their FB page.  (Funk is the rhythmic, danceable music synthesized from a mixture of musical genres.)  Here’s a link to their FB page.   https://www.facebook.com/crushfunk

The concert series comes to Eastern Market Metro Plaza through the efforts of Barracks Row Main Street and the Department of Parks and Recreation.  CM Charles Allen secured funding in the current FY DC Budget to program the performance space at the Plaza.
