The Heritage Blues Orchestra will perform tonight at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis.
The band describes its sound as the grit of low-down country and urban blues with the bold brass of New Orleans, the hand-clapping fervor of gospel punctuated with fiery postmodern, jazz-infused horn arrangements.
The orchestra was a crowd favorite at the Rock Bend Folk Festival last weekend in St. Peter, Minn.
