Big Blitz

Oddity Orchestra Tour starring Big Blitz + You Bred Raptors? 2210 Summit St, Columbus, OH 43201 8PM Doors 18+ Come one, come all, for one night only! Witness a musical showcase of bizarre instrumental arrangements featuring two oddity trio acts. Marvel at a trio led by 8-string bass & cello and also a trio of dueling saxophones, both joined by a percussive centerpiece. The show will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you dance, it will make you ask yourself, What did I just watch? Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, BIG BLITZ combines jazz, rock, and electronic musical influences to create their own dynamic sound. Brothers Lucas Ciesielski (Tenor Sax, Bari Sax) and Mason Ciesielski (Tenor Sax, Bari Sax, Synthesizers) unite with drummer Nick Grabigel to forge their unique, infectious style. The trio’s chemistry, energy, and stage presence makes dancing mandatory, rather than optional. Their meld of vintage instruments with modern technology consistently mesmerizes audiences and delivers a huge, hard-hitting sound that will create an unforgettable show. ----------------------------------- YOU BRED RAPTORS? is an orchestral post-rock ensemble with the Music Under New York Program.
