Bonerama
Shank Hall 1434 N. Farwell Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
Formed by two trombonists in Harry Connick’s band, Bonerama is a rock band disguised as a jazz band. Though their brass-based line-up suggests jazz, their repertoire leans heavily on classic-rock standards from acts like Led Zeppelin, The Edgar Winter Group, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. That novel approach has made the New Orleans group a favorite at jazz festivals and earned a collaborative 2008 EP with the alt-rock band OK Go. In 2017, they released their most recent album, Hot Like Fire, on Basin Street Records.
