Anyone who enjoys the music of New Orleans or simply wants to get their spirits lifted will want to hear the Euphoria Brass Band, performing at Tango Del Rey on Aug. 17. Featuring Ron Bocian on drum, Drew Miller on bass drum, Steve Ebner on trumpet, April West on trombone, Dave Jackson on tenor sax, sousaphonist Wayne Rice, David Mosby on vocals and Mission Bay High School music director JP Balmat on clarinet and saxophone, a performance from this group is an instant party. The band offers up plenty of classic funky, rockin’ and jazzy material to keep dancers and connoisseurs of the genre satisfied. Playing its music with passion and conviction, the Euphoria Brass Band might seem to be a little anachronistic in these modern times, but it proves that good music is timeless. • Euphoria Brass Band performs at 8 p.m. on Aug. 17 at Tango Del Rey, 3567 Del Rey St. in Pacific Beach. $10 cover, $5 students with ID. All ages.
