Brave Combo artifacts in UNT Art Exhibit During April 2019

Leave a Comment

unit LIMIT DisplayThe University of North Texas (UNT), located in Denton, Texas, (where Brave Combo lives), is presenting an exhibit of artifacts from several prominent local musicians and bands and Brave Combo is honored to be included. The exhibit, which opens Friday, April 5th at UNT on the Square (a performance/gallery space in downtown Denton) is entitled SCENE & HEARD: SELECTIONS FROM THE Local / Independent Music Initiative of Texas (LIMIT) The show, curated and presented through the UNT Music Library, will be up throughout the month of April. We handed a bunch of stuff from our vaults to two of the representatives of LIMIT and have no idea how much will be on display, but it should be worth a visit. So, if you live nearby or just planning a little Denton get-away this month, drop in and check it out. I’m sure everyone will be friendly and there are a million places on the square to eat, drink and be merry, afterward. And it’s free!

Brave Combo’s Immigrant Songs in Houston – May 11

Leave a Comment

BRAVE COMBO TO PERFORM “IMMIGRANT SONGS”
MAY 11, 2017 at ST. ANDREW’S COFFEE HOUSE LIVE

st andrews coffee house live concerts houston, txThe Denton, Texas Grammy-winning band, Brave Combo, realized that their usual/unusual set list of music from around world might help shine a spotlight to confront the darkness of prejudice and racism influencing our country today. Following two very successful performances in North Texas that garnered articles in both the Dallas Observer and Denton Record-Chronicle, Brave Combo will be bringing their performance of “Immigrant Songs” to Coffee House Live at St. Andrew’s Church on Thursday, May 11. The band plans to enlighten, as well as perform, by explaining the origins of many of the evening’s eclectic offerings.

Per Brave Combo’s Carl Finch, “From the beginning of the band in 1979, Brave Combo has benefited directly from the flow of immigrants into the USA. As well, we have stood beside those who have been abused and whose music has been maligned and/or ridiculed, if not completely ignored. The polka scene receives all of the benefits of forced segregation, which are none. Brave Combo has been fighting a battle against racism, prejudice and judgmental attitudes for almost 40 years and these days it feels like our attempts to open eyes and ears and minds have all been in vain. Even after many immigrants receive full legal status as American citizens, the abuse and prejudice continue, whether one’s family is from Mexico, Iran or Poland. Some people simply believe ‘different’ is bad and/or wrong.”

Coffee House Live is located at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church 5308 Buffalo Speedway, Houston, Texas 77005 (713) 667-1703. No cover charge. Donations welcome: suggested donation $10-20 (cash or check), helps cover the cost of artist, refreshments, facility — but not required. 7:00 pm http://sapch.org/coffee/

This show is supported in part by a grant from the Texas Commission On The Arts
