If you think jazz is slow, stuffy or “not really your thing," Butcher Brown is about to change your mind.

This Richmond, Virginia powerhouse blends jazz, funk, hip-hop, soul and rock into the kind of live show that gets you moving. They’ve been called one of the most exciting bands in contemporary jazz - and seeing them on the riverfront for Alton Jazz and W**e Festival: Inspired by Miles Davis is a pretty great way to find out why.

We're excited to bring them to Alton for a festival inspired by Miles Davis, who spent his career pushing jazz somewhere new.
