Natalie Cressman will bring her new Brazilian music project on the road through Southern California later this month. Dubbed “Brasilense”, the new group finds the Trey Anastasio Band trombonist joining forces with flutist/vocalist Rebecca Kleinmann, drummer/guitarist/vocalist Julien Cantelm, and Brazilian-born guitarist Ian Faquini.

The March run will get started on Thursday, March 15th with a free trio show—featuring Cressman, Kleinmann, and Faquini—at the Brazil Arts Cafe in Santa Barbara. The full band will then head to San Diego for a free performance at Panama 66 on Friday, March 16th. Next up will be another San Diego gig on Saturday, March 17th—this time at Dizzy’s. Finally, the outing will wrap up with a concert at The Mint in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 18th.

Cressman will return to the road with the Trey Anastasio Band in April when the group reconvenes for an eight-show run that includes three nights in New Orleans during Jazz Fest.
