The 99 (Nine Nine) Brass Band was formed in the Spring of 2018 through an impromptu Mardi Gras celebration at The Durham Hotel. Since that time, the band has performed at various venues in the Triangle area, refining both their sound and repertoire. Co-Directed by renowned trumpet player Al Strong and drummer/producer Jeremy ‘Bean’ Clemons, the band delivers powerfully inspiring arrangements with a New Orleans Brass Band sound that’s unmatched! This 7-piece group aims to bring the party from the drop of the downbeat to the end of the show.

Music in the Gardens: Cedric Burnside
Admission: $10+
Part of an outstanding multi-generational musical birthright that includes his father Calvin Jackson and genre-pioneering grandfather R. L. Burnside, Cedric Burnside literally grew up in the blues. Living in his patriarch’s home for much of his youth without the benefit of running water, the drummer absorbed the wonder and woe of the genre, his upbringing uniquely suiting him for the subject matter. In addition to performing and recording with his elders and relatives prior to their passing, he’s featured on albums by artists including Jimmy Buffett and Jimbo Mathus, as well as in a duo with guitarist Lightnin’ Malcolm.

PineCone in Cary: Zoocru
7pm

Zoocrü formed amidst the thriving music and arts community of Durham. Common interests and experiences brought together founding members Jonathan Curry (drums), Christian Sharp (bass) and Alan Thompson (vocals) on the campus of North Carolina Central University for early collaborations that laid the foundations for the group. Russell Favret (guitar) joined the band in 2014. Zoocrü creates from the core belief that all American music is born from the seeds of Black music. Jazz serves as the foundation, with added elements of hip hop, blues, rock, and gospel.

The Temptations and The Four Tops
7:30pm
Admission: $45+
For more than fifty years, The Temptations have prospered, propelling popular music with a series of smash hits, and sold-out performances throughout the world. “The crowds are bigger, the sales are sizzling,” says one industry report. “The outpouring of affection for this super-group has never been greater”. The history of The Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop. An essential component of the original Motown machine, that amazing engine invented by Berry Gordy, The Temps began their musical life in Detroit in the early sixties. It wasn’t until 1964 however, that the Smokey Robinson written-and-produced “The Way You Do the Things You Do” turned the guys into stars. One of Motown's most consistent hit-makers, The Four Tops are among the most stable and consistent vocal groups. In 1990, with 24 Top 40 pop hits to their credit, The Four Tops were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Though they would no longer have hits on record, the group continued to be a hit in concert, touring incessantly, a towering testament to the enduring legacy of the Motown Sound they helped shape and define.
