San Francisco-based quintet New Monsoon, along with Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, has announced a pair of concerts to benefit Rock the Earth and celebrate Earth Day, on April 4 and April 5 at Denver’s Oriental Theater. $1 from every ticket sale will be donated to Rock The Earth, a non-profit organization helping to preserve our environment. The bands will flip flop closing sets, and play a joint set at the end of each show. After packing the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco three years in a row, New Monsoon returns to the Rocky Mountain state, with Dumpstaphunk, which is New Orleans’ legend Ivan Neville’s newest project.The band takes its audience on a multi-faceted musical journey marrying acoustic and electric instrumentation, fusing numerous genres from bluegrass to reggae, jazz to funk all in one rock ‘n roll package. In fact, one of their popular live recordings, released in 2005, New Monsoon Live at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival was nominated for a JAMMY award as live album of the year.
