After touring with the rock band Jambay, Butler assembled this unique collaborative of performance that deeply encourages and requires audience interaction. In fact, the audience actually becomes part of the rock, improvisational/jam band performance.
An AllShows.com VIP Party Pass ($25), which includes a pre-show cocktail party 6:30 – 7:15 p.m. with open bar, hors-d’oeuvre and priority parking, is available for this show, which is part of the Xfinity Rock Series with media sponsor The Peak 107.1fm.
What makes this show different from anything else is that it represents the best of both worlds — good musicians playing at their best and the element of surprise — because even the musicians don’t know what’s next! It’s magical, pure musicianship and inspiration. Everyone Orchestra provides a platform of what’s best about music with the least amount of obstacles.
