CONCURRENCE - Live in Philadelphia- Saturday, June 7th at Community Education Center
Paul Horton - piano / electronics
Greg Bryant - bass
Marcus Finnie - drums
Pianist/keyboardist Paul Horton (Brittany Howard, Alabama Shakes) and bassist/broadcaster Greg Bryant come together to form the beat-driven, improvisational music and research collective known as CONCURRENCE. The band performs in Philadelphia on Saturday, June 7th, at the Community Education Center located at 3500 Lancaster Avenue at 7:30 p.m.
Concurrence performs in support of their recent album, Indivisible (available on La Reserve Records.) The music sheds light on an overlooked chapter in American history, one which irrevocably altered Black and Brown communities across the country. With the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower established the Interstate System that today crisscrosses the United States. The systems construction came with devastating effects. From New York to Chicago, Miami to Los Angeles, authorities routed the interstates through centers of cultural and economic activity, displacing families and decimating businesses.
Concurrence first honed its musical voice in the early 2000's on Jefferson Street in Nashville, Tennessee. The area was a northside hub for the citys Black community in the 1950s and 1960s that boosted the early careers of Etta James, Jimi Hendrix, and Little Richard - a few short years before Interstate 40 carved up six hundred and twenty homes as well as sixteen entire blocks of businesses lining the area. Since their debut, Concurrence has grown their musical partnership on bandstands across the United States and Canada touring independently while additionally opening for Cory Henry, Rebirth Brass Band and Alabama Shakes..
On Indivisible and in performance, Bryant and Horton (Concurrence) deliver their message of remembrance and resilience in a groove-centered musical voice built over two decades of collaboration with acclaimed drummers and percussionists Nasheet Waits, Tommy Crane, Marcus Finnie, Derrek Phillips, Aaron Smith, and Giovanni Rodriguez.
