Bay Street Theater welcomes The Reel East End Brass (REEB) and Souled Out to come rip up the stage with dance music on Saturday, March 9, at 8 p.m.
REEB is a high-energy nine-piece brass-driven band that is composed of formally trained East End locals, many of whom are also Suffolk County music educators. Since its inception in 2019, the band’s main goal has been to serve the community by providing top-notch music and exciting performances of both originals and highly danceable covers such as “The Remedy” by Jason Mraz, “Soul Man,” “Valerie” and “Killing Me Softly.” The group’s music is eclectic and dynamic, and often recognized for their signature New Orleans brass band arrangements. REEB’s library of original music is steadily growing, and the group has released its latest tunes on Spotify. Members include Dylan Greene on vocals, Nick Silipo on guitar, Jake Lorefice on bass, Troy Grindle on drums and violin, Chris Mandato on trumpet, Tye Granger on tenor saxophone, Meghan Kelly Bari on saxophone and clarinet, Shawn Ward on trombone and Joe Randazzo on sousaphone and mellophone.
Souled Out is a Long Island-based six-piece party band playing a dynamic mix of radio hits and classic dance favorites. The band is celebrating its upcoming 10th anniversary, and have played large corporate events, weddings and hundreds of venues and festivals from Montauk to Manhattan. For this show, the group will be performing dance favorites by artists ranging from Prince to Chaka Khan to Stevie Wonder to The Doobie Brothers and many others. Souled Out features Joseph Pierre Freyre as band leader and on guitar, Melanie Freyre, Lindsay Lipsman and Brett Frederick on vocals and keys, George Vahamonde on drums, and “Ro The Bassman” on bass.
