Scott Kettner with special guest Rob Curto
When Scott Kettner looks at a map, he sees a direct line that connects the rivers of northeastern Brazil to the parishes of New Orleans and the streets of NYC. A master percussionist, bandleader and educator, Kettner is the guiding force behind Nation Beat, a band whose teeming, vibrant rhythms find common ground in the primal maracatu rhythm of Brazil’s northeast, the Big Easy’s funky, hypnotic second-line and the unfettered freedom of big-city downtown jazz. He is the creator of WorldDrumLessons.Com, an online academy for percussionists and is a part-time faculty member at The New School University. His instructional book, Maracatu for Drumset and Percussion is published by Hal Leonard.

Brad Cole

passionate and distinctive delivery of roots-based folk music, woven with the grit and groove of old school bossa
