Gentleman Brawlers at The Buttonwood Tree

Middletown, CT:  The Buttonwood Tree presents the musical showcase of 6-piece afro-soul group Gentleman Brawlers. Admission is $20.

Gentleman Brawlers, a Brooklyn 6-Piece fronted by the creative duo Matt Walsh and Becca Fox, are psychedelic Afro-soul revivalists known for infusing throwback electronica and acid rock into their funk-based compositions. The ‘Brawlers deliver a live show with plenty of heat, crackling energy, and ****-shaking whomp. While working on the tracks for their next full-length LP (due October 2023), the ‘Brawlers have honed their live show on college campuses and the festival circuit.
Notable performances took place at Brooklyn Bowl (opened for Cimafunk and Grammy award-winning artists Fantastic Negrito and Los Amigos Invisibles), Pier 1 on Manhattan's Upper West Side for Summer on the Hudson, Dumbo’s Live at the Archway concert series, Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, Westylvania Jazz & Blues Festival (headliner), Daryl’s House, Princeton University’s storied Terrace F. Club, Bethlehem’s Musikfest, WNYC’s The Greene Space, The McKittrick Hotel (home of Sleep No More), Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory, and recently an in-studio appearance on WBEZ Chicago (home of NPR’s Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me and This American Life).

Adventurous art-pop experimenters by trade, the band recently expanded their lineup and narrowed their focus to create a live music project dedicated to just one of the sonic ventures hinted at on previous recordings—the Lagos-by-way-of-Brooklyn Afrobeat sound of their single My Theory—and began performing in NYC jazz & world music clubs as the Gentleman Brawlers Afrobeat Project.
