Chris Aschman Volcanic Band
Thursday, October 8 · 8–11pm

Steel pan, horns, and a Latin-funk groove. A tiki bar doesn't get a better match than that. Trumpeter and steelpan player Chris Aschman brings the Volcanic Band to Long Weekend to celebrate their new album.

Chris is a Baltimore native who studied jazz trumpet at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and spent nearly two decades as a fixture of the Philly scene. As a performer, educator, studio musician, and arranger, he has shared the stage with Paquito D'Rivera, Stanley Clarke, Dionne Warwick, Chaka Khan, Kool and the Gang, Andy Narell, and many more. Since moving to the Bay in 2022, he's been mixing jazz funk, Latin jazz, and steelband music into something fresh and very danceable.

The lineup:

• Chris Aschman, trumpet and steel pan

• Tony Peebles, sax

• Adam Kipple, keys

• Henry Plumb, drums
