Inora Brass is the premier professional brass ensemble in our region. Trombonist Lori Salimando-Porter is a “local” from Chazy. The five members are Grammy Award-winning musicians who have played with the Nashville Symphony and the Vermont Symphony Orchestras; Emerson, Lake and Palmer; Phish, James Taylor, Itzhak Perlman, and Gustavo Dudamel; and have performed on Broadway, at Carnegie Hall, and at venues throughout Vermont and New York State.
Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble, from the heart of Louisiana Creole country, have created their own distinct style with Curley's soulful, bluesy vocals and the band's hard-driving zydeco beat. They tour extensively throughout the US, playing festivals and clubs from coast to coast, including major festivals Rhythm and Roots in Rhode Island, Waterfront Blues Festival in Oregon, and Jazz Fest in New Orleans.
