Children of the Horn (COTH) is an instrumental ensemble that has created a unique sound by combining influences from jazz, rhythm and blues, and world music. With a frontline of horns, COTH takes the listener on a kaleidoscopic journey through original compositions that run the gamut from super-syncopated Latin-funk to swaggering New Orleans Second Line styles to classic Motown-inspired grooves.
Audiences of all ages find COTH to be highly entertaining. Their tight arrangements and masterfully improvised solos have earned the band opportunities to share the stage with international stars such as
Dirty Dozen Brass Band, P-Funk, and Dr. Lonnie Smith.
COTH were recently
selected to appear in the 2008-2010 edition of the North Carolina
Arts Council "Touring Artists Directory". COTH were
also selected as the Independent Weekly's "Band of the Month" for
November 2006.
Past festival engagements include Centerfest, Taste of Durham, Shakori Hills Festival, Lazy Daze, Peak Fest, Beaufort Music Festival, Carrboro Music Festival, Holly Springs Jazz Daze, African Heritage Festival, and Matthews Alive.
