With a rallying cry of “JOY NOW!” MarchFourth! (M4 for short) throws itself and the audience into a swirling volcano of high-energy music and spectacle. What began as a Fat Tuesday party on March 4, 2003 in Portland, Oregon has become one of the nation’s best live touring acts. They bring an energy and style that takes the live concert experience to a new level of fun, turning unsuspecting concert-goers into fans for life and transforming ordinary events into joyous occasions.

Aside from their one-of-a-kind upcycled vintage marching band uniforms, their 5-piece percussion corps and the 7-part brass section, MarchFourth! is far from a “marching band” in any traditional sense. Their original music is anchored by funky electric bass and has been evolving into a rocking guitar and vocal-driven journey from the swamps of Louisiana to the gypsy camps of eastern Europe to the African jungle by way of Brazil, echoing the deepest grooves of American funk, rock, and jazz. That’s all boiled together and framed in cinematic fashion by high-stepping stilt-acrobatics and dazzling dancers. This band is real people making music and art in real time—and every show is different.

Join MarchFourth! at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater for a night full of excitement—exclamation point included.

Cost: $35
