Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Drum Line

On their sophomore EP, Ceremony, lespecial blend an array of worldly percussive sounds, from West African kalimba to Japanese shakuhachi, into a roiling, danceable stew. With a sound rooted in funk, jam and electronica, and flecked with hints of energetic global groove, the Connecticut-based trio is quickly becoming festival favorites. The band plays Signal Kitchen in Burlington on Thursday, February 28.
