For all of the Civil War buffs out there who want to hear a concert or two, the Yankee Brass Band will be touring southern New England next week. We are made up of 22 musicians who play on instruments produced circa. 1860. The are hard to play, but it sure is quite fun and the concerts are great! We are led by Paul Maybery who is probably most well known for the music from Ken Burn's Civil War Series for PBS.
