Music To Freak To has been the baddest party in San Francisco that last 3 months. Â It has been an opportunity for Con Brio to make a small Mission District venue it’s home, and to invite great bands of many styles to share in the action. Â Frequent guest musicians in Con Brio’s sets and collaboration between bands has made each night unique and unforgettable. Â The band has also recorded each of their sets in beautiful multi-track audio and will be assembling the material for an upcoming live album release later this year, with the goal of capturing the sweat, grit, soul and booty-shaking fun of a Con Brio show. Â Don’t miss out on closing night on April 23rd, with 4 great bands performing, culminating in Con Brio bringing out their best moves yet for their final set of the series.

Con Brio In The Press:Â
There’s a dusky, smoky quality to Con Brio’s music that would sound killer on an old-school hi-fi in the well-appointed living room of a ‘60s jazz aficionado. Since that sort of experience doesn’t really exist anymore, the band’s live shows must suffice. The name—a musical term that means “going forward with vigorâ€â€”is appropriate for the ensemble, which specializes in twilight-hour blues, powerfully deployed funk licks and intensely soulful laments. Vocalist, guitarist and bassist Xandra Corpora, a formidable presence, embodies the band’s passionate drive.  – Santacruz.com
