The classic horn band Brasswind will perform a tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Flat Iron Crossroads, Gloucester. The band members, most of whom are active duty or retired military, were friends who rarely played together until they formed their band in November 2017. Now they perform songs from The Tower of Power, Chicago, James Brown, The Temptations, Buddy Miles, Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind & Fire, and others. Band members are, from left, Thom Sauber, Jacob Stith, David Walmsey Sr., Clayton Ives, Curtis Brown, Renee Kingan, Chris Ward, DaRon Walton and Eric Musselwhite. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with food by Positive Pizza and beverages from the FIX Bar. Tickets are $20 and are available at flatironcrossroads.com. The event will be outside, weather permitting. Those attending are invited to bring a lawn chair.
