Bass Hall proudly presents Brave Combo’s Holiday Dance Party.
Rarely, if ever, has a band’s name been more apropos, not only at the group’s inception, but even more so more than 28 years after the fact. At first glance, back in 1979, the Denton-based outfit was, in shorthand, pegged as a New Wave polka band, a courageous if not almost oxymoronic endeavor during that particular rebirth of the cool. Yet it clicked and launched a stunning run that has now catapulted it into the new century.
Over the last 28 years, Brave Combo has collected a dizzying array of descriptive musical pegs, boldly going where few bands have gone before, and even fewer could (or would) dare to venture.
Succeeding in its first mission, Brave Combo is America’s premier contemporary polka band, and a Grammy-winning one at that. In the same breath, to name some but hardly all of the colors found on Brave Combo’s musical palette, one can describe them as a groundbreaking world music act, a hot jazz quintet, a rollicking rock’n’roll bar band, a Tex-Mex conjunto, a sizzling blues band, a saucy cocktail combo, a deadly serious novelty act, a Latin orchestra, and one of America’s dance bands par excellence.
