Butcher Brown (Early Show)

Butcher Brown are a multifaceted quintet from Richmond, Virginia, who fuse jazz, hip hop, soul, funk and R&B into an irresistible mix. Drawing on wide-ranging influences from D’Angelo and The Roots to Weather Report, the group creates a boundary-pushing sound they call "Solar Music." Taking careful note of the history and legacy of jazz while throwing caution to the wind, they translate the creative energy of their recorded works into spontaneous, electrifying live performances. Their recent album, Letters from the Atlantic, captures the quintet at the peak of their creativity, featuring a travelogue of sound spanning the East Coast and beyond. On stage, Butcher Brown delivers a soulful, improvisatory experience that has captivated audiences globally.
