Next Stage presents 8-piece band Hazmat Modine on Nov. 16

PUTNEY-Next Stage Arts presents eight-piece band Hazmat Modine, on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m. at Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill.

"Hazmat Modine has been an influence on a generation of musicians based in New York. Their fans are musicians because of the virtuosity they exhibit," says Keith Marks, executive director of Next Stage Arts, in a news release. "It's a gift to be able to present stalwarts of the New York music scene." They are the definition of eclectic, he says. "Hazmat Modine is a verb!"

Hazmat Modine has toured and performed original songs for more than 25 years with music that draws from diverse backgrounds in Gypsy jazz, downtown avant guard loft music, blues, soul, country, rock n' roll, and roots. Band members' ages span from their 20s to 70s.

Trumpet, saxophone, trombone, guitar, tuba, harmonica, drums, banjo, and violin "with a fantastical array of folk instruments and guest performers," are featured, according to the artists' website, hazmatmodine.com. Vocals by lead Wade Schuman "are riveting, rousing, and emotive, and his mastery of harmonica is unparalleled," it continues.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and $10 for access to the livestream. Advance tickets are available at nextstagearts.org. For information, call 802-387-0102.
