RECYCLED PERCUSSION March 16 | Big Arts

Formed in 1994 in New Hampshire at their high school talent show, Recycled Percussion’s first performance gave birth to the style of music now known as Junk Rock. This small-town band has built their show into one of the more powerful live performances in entertainment history. During every show, the band mixes their gritty assault on buckets, power tools or anything else they can get their sticks on with a sense of humor and gravity defying athleticism in the tradition of “Cirque du Soleil.” Recycled Percussion is a “don’t miss experience” that will take your breath away. www.bigarts.org
