The Brighton Beat at the Van Dyck Music Club

We're so excited to welcome back The Brighton Beat to the Stockade!

The Brighton Beat's influences range from Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, to modern cutting-edge NYC Jazz with a heavy helping of classic New Orleans brass band Funk. Performing up and down the East coast since 2010, the band has developed a style of performance that uniquely engages the audience and is fun for the whole family with wonderfully deep, wildy fun, and experimental Afrobeat that evokes the spirit of the greats.

Their new album, Victory At Last, was released in May of 2025 - although guests at our first show with The Brighton Beat in November of 2024 got a sneak peak at a few of the singles!!

"“There is a perpetual sense of danceable immediacy to the big, fun Brighton Beat sound. The exact reason for that is that, at any moment—no, make that every moment—there is the potential to shake-your-money-maker around the moon and back again. Measure by measure by measure, the dance floor is going to get worn down to the studs. It is truly liberating. ”
“While exotic world rhythms and a hyperactive front line have been a Brighton Beat specialty, this heady ensemble wastes no time kicking into high gear with "Feet First, Head Last," an Afrobeat explosion of horns and choral voices that seriously gets the house party started. "Into the Thick of It" catches fire quickly with its jittery skittery Talking Heads-like vibe and serves to showcase the band's deeper dive into a myriad of musical styles. And though "As Time Marches On" features said front line, it is Nat Ranson's gritty trombone that spearheads the track.” "

- Mike Jurkovic of ALL ABOUT JAZZ on Victory at Last
