Across the country and around the world, a new type of street band is emerging. Acoustic and mobile, borrowing repertoire and inspiration from a diverse set of folk music traditions, these “Honkers” all share a commitment to music as social action. The HONK! Festival features such bands as the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble, March Fourth Marching Band, Brass Liberation Orchestra, The Leftist Marching Band, and Environmental Encroachment.
