Butcher Brown, celebrated for their explosive live performances opening for such acts as Kamasi Washington, Galactic, Turkuaz and Lettuce, are excited to announce the release of their aptly titled new EP, ENCORE, on Concord Jazz.
The five tracks featured on ENCORE were recorded during the same time as their critically-acclaimed major label debut, #KingButch. The band says, "ENCORE is full of musical gems from the #KingButch sessions. With these songs, we go further into some of the directions that we tapped for the album." Listen to ENCORE below. The release of the Richmond, Virginia-based quintet's new EP follows their stunning NPR Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, which has reached over 243k views on YouTube. Butcher Brown is five groove merchants delivering a heady home-brew of jams and jazz, rhymes and beats-a funky, musical mix that makes one question why great music needs to be labeled as this category or that. The hybrid moniker "jazz/hip-hop" only begins to cover it. Their balance of raw energy and smooth sophistication, edgy improvisation with a generous dose of Southern roots reveals how equal opportunity they are in employing a wide range of musical styles, and how authentically they've absorbed it all.Listen here:
