Botanical Roots: Brave the Sea (Celtic Punk)

Friday, August 30, 8:30 pm

Botanical Conservatory, 1100 S. Calhoun St.

This premier group set sail from Ohio as a pirate-themed punk rock band in 2015. Since then, Brave the Sea evolved and additional members joined to form their signature sound of Celtic Rock. A combination of anthemic tunes, high-energy performances, and use of traditional folk instruments gives them a stage aesthetic that is hard to rival.

Fort Wayne, Ind. – The Fort Wayne Greenways and Trails Department will be completing asphalt repair work and micro-surfacing of the Rivergreenway, which will require some temporary closure of the Rivergreenway trail.
