The 2018 Jazz in June finale will feature the Huntertones in a 7 p.m. June 26 performance.
The band’s high-energy, horn-driven sound fuses improvisation and adventurous composition melding jazz, funk, rock and soul. Adding depth and contrast to their live set, Huntertones shifts from a dynamic six-piece ensemble to a trio featuring saxophone, sousaphone and beat-boxing.
Members of the group have collaborated with Jon Batiste and Stay Human, O.A.R., Snarky Puppy, Stevie Wonder, Andy Grammer, Ed Sheeran, Allen Stone, Gary Clark Jr., Phillip Phillips, We Banjo 3, Umphrey’s McGee and Vulfpeck.
Jazz in June concerts are at 7 p.m. each Tuesday in June in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s sculpture garden west of the Sheldon Museum of Art, 12th and R streets. The concert series is free, but attendees are encouraged to make a donation of $10 per family to help ensure its continuation.
Concertgoers are allowed to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Pets are not allowed. Recycling bins are provided throughout the concert area.
