Kirkwood will host its 2nd annual Route 66 Cars and Guitars Festival on Saturday, June 9, 2018, in downtown Kirkwood from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m. The festival’s “Cars & Guitars” theme speaks to the transportation and music history of the region. Live music from six bands on two stages and vintage vehicles will anchor this fun outdoor event.

The Funky Butt Brass Band was formed in 2008 by six talented musicians who respect and revere the New Orleans brass band tradition. The FBBB takes classic New Orleans brass tunes and gives them a twist, in the style of Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Rebirth and Bonerama. But don’t be surprised if you also hear some Motown, Southern rock, Memphis soul, Chicago blues and St. Louis R&B in the mix.
