Local organization benefits from Local Musicians returning home to help! RoxfestNY comes to Roxbury this summer. The Greater Roxbury Learning Initiative Corporation welcomes Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds home to Roxbury for benefit concert. Local musicians Arleigh and Jackson Kincheloe will return to the area on August 25th as the main performers for an all-day Rock-n-Roll Festival. Arleigh and Jackson are natives in Roxbury, NY . Arleigh is a graduate of Roxbury Central School and Jackson graduated from Stamford Central School. With a long history of music in their family, this sister/brother lead band come back to Roxbury to entertain and to give back to the future community members of Roxbury.
Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds is a nine-piece powerhouse that puts a modern spin on classic soul. The band is led by Arleigh Kincheloe (Sister Sparrow), whose astoundingly powerful voice and sly demeanor make for a spellbinding presence onstage. She is backed by the mighty force of The Dirty Birds, a flock of eight men who masterfully lay down thundering grooves and soaring melodies. While each of the Birds are capable of lighting up the stage with jaw-dropping displays of musicianship, it's clear they're focused on delivering the band's infectious music as a single entity. Simply put, the band's live show is explosive. Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds' blend of seductive soul and dirty blues-rock reminds audiences why they love live music.
