Firefly Horns are a raucous party with trumpet, saxophone and trombone bringing an acoustic mayhem to match the drums, electric bass and electric guitar powerhouse.
After 6 full length albums, innumerable sold out shows, a 12-performance national tour and performing in some of the most notable and highly sought after venues The Daimon Brunton Quintet joined with a classical chamber quartet to create some of the most magical, inspiring and technically challenging music created.
Filmed in Santa Maria College’s Benedictine Theatre on a stage with 150 candles and 8 high-definition cameras.
