Like everybody, the Funky Butt Brass Band is feeling the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic. Many gigs have been postponed or cancelled, due to health concerns or local stay-at-home orders, or both. It pains us to not be able to play our music for our friends, but it is absolutely the right action to take. The most important thing is for everyone to listen to doctors and medical experts, take care of your health and that of your family, practice social distancing, self-quarantine and act responsibly. We will get through this if we all err on the side of caution. Don’t put the most susceptible folks at risk. Support your favorite bands by buying their music online. Support local businesses by buying gift certificates online — when things return to normal, you can go out and have a good time, and hey, it’s already paid for! Support your favorite restaurant by ordering curbside pickup or delivery. Support the less fortunate among us with donations to local charities and food banks. Most importantly, take care of yourself and the ones you love, and we’ll see you in better times. Love and virtual hugs from behind a mask, at least six feet away!
