Afrobeat Show at Sea Monster Lounge This Friday, May 29th

On May 29, The Brighton Beat, an Afrobeat/Jazz/Funk/World music ensemble, is coming to Seattle to play their first show on the West Coast at Sea Monster Lounge, 2202 N 45th Street. Greg Schettino, a Seattle-based member of the band, shared more information about The Brighton Beat and their philanthropic activities.

 

 

All the way from New York City, their first time in Seattle, The Brighton Beat is a unique and engaging spectacle for all ages. A huge band playing funk with a full horn section, epic percussion, and non-stop foot stomping grooves. With influences ranging from classic New Orleans brass band Funk to Classic 70s Afrobeat, this is a dance party not to miss!

Performing up and down the East Coast since 2010, the band has developed a style of performance that uniquely engages the audience and is fun for the whole family. Positive, uplifting, danceable music is a trademark of The Brighton Beat sound. The band’s set is anchored by instrumental songs that feature room for the horn section to improvise, but the show often includes guest vocalists, audience participation, group sing-a-longs, and even the occasional circus act. Welcome to your new favorite band/family!

The Brighton Beat also founded the non-profit music education program Jazz In The Classroom in 2017. We have since led dozens of music clinics and workshops for under-resourced schools and are looking forward to bringing the program to the Seattle area in 2027.

Jazz In The Classroom
The show at Sea Monster starts at 8 pm, before the regular Friday night band, Funky 2 Death, plays at 10 pm. Tickets are available in advance. Note that Sea Monster is a 21+ venue.
