Kenosha Kid at Bray Jazz Festival
At a glance
About this event
Georgia guitarist and bandleader Dan Nettles ‘Kenosha Kid’ are purveyors of a groovy blend of modern jazz meets classic US college radio.
The band enjoy a loyal following in their hometown of Athens, GA and across the south-eastern states of the US.
Nettles reignites ‘Kenosha Kid Europe’ at this year’s Bray Jazz, teaming up again with Berlin bassist Roland Fidezius and Dubliners Shane Latimer (guitar) and Sean Carpio (drums), who have been friends since meeting at Canada’s Banff Centre for the Arts over a decade ago.
The melodies are haunting, grooves devastating, and the band continues to expertly serve jazz purists, indie-rock hipsters, and funk loving jam fans alike.
“The harmonic richness and rhythmic involvement come from jazz, but the sonic particulars can come from Black Sabbath, Johnny Cash, Sonny Sharrock or Elvin Jones,”
