Brand X to play Newton Theatre

NEWTON — The Newton Theatre welcomes the return of Jazz-Rock Fusion legends Brand X on Friday, June 9, at 8 p.m.
With demand around the world to see them back in action Brand X reunite to perform material from their first three albums — Unorthodox Behaviour, Moroccan Roll, and Livestock.
Brand X is recognized as true musical pioneers, as they helped create an entire musical genre and influenced a broad spectrum of musicians and bands, from Phish to Dream Theatre. They are unrivaled in their creativity, originality and approach. Their contemporaries include bands such as Weather Report, Headhunters, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jaco Pastorious and Chick Corea, all crafting a unique blend of Jazz, Rock, and Ethnic influences now widely known by fans worldwide as Fusion. Many claim it's Brand X's unique combination of masterful chops mixed with their youthful melodies that make them so special.
Three of the four main members reunited for this tour. Original band members include John Goodsall (Guitar) who says, “It's a better version now. We’re all a lot more experienced – a lot more skilled… And that goes for every one of us.”, Percy Jones (Bass) who feels “This music takes us back to a certain space – which was really cool. I wasn't sure I’d ever feel that feeling again – and yet here it is!”, and Kenwood Dennard (Drums) saying “When we used to play this music, it felt eternal. We used to get into a zone where it felt so deep. Now that's exactly how it felt again.”
The other band members are Chris Clark (keyboards) and Scott Weinberger (Percussionist).
