Coming Up Brass - Last Friday Night Live Concert

August 22nd, 2008 will be the last Friday Night Live event of the 2008 Summer series and the Belmont Downtown Merchants Association has a great band to end out the event. Creative Loafing Readers Pick voted Coming Up Brass as the “Best Local Band for Dancing” which should make for yet another GREAT Friday Night in Belmont so get your dancing shoes ready. Coming Up Brass, or The CUB Band, is a 10 piece (yes 10!) group of musicians who play for the love of the music. When it comes to music, trust us, size does matter … they have a very BIG sound!
