Brazz Tree - Wednesday November 11, 2009
8:00 pm in the Grand River Room of Kirkhof

From two seemingly opposite ends of the world come 2 American musicians with one global musical vision. What starts out a simple ideal – to combine all of the music that one loves without adhering to stylistic guidelines or parameters – becomes increasingly difficult in a world where "music" is not Music unless easily categorized, classified and/or compartmentalized. While Tower Records and stores like it may sooner or later become things of the past, we generally, still try to put artists and their music in a neat little box in our minds. We store that box in Aisle 5 under a sign that reads "JAZZ" or "CLASSICAL" or "ROCK" or "FOLK"… or perhaps in that other room. You know the one that is separated from the rest of the store by glass doors and a sign that reads "WORLD".

Brazz Tree is a band that combines all of the aforementioned elements in a sometimes cacophonous, sometimes very straightforward, always elegant, but also sometimes swooping around and hitting you in the back of the head sort of way. We make music that we want to hear on the radio. And we call it Music NWAR.

Tom DeLuca is a regular guest at GVSU. For almost 30 years, he's been hypnotizing students and putting on great shows. He chooses several volunteers from the audience and hypnotizes them each to do something different. Whether you want the chance to be hypnotized or just want to sit back and laugh at your friends while they're onstage, this is a great event.
