Grammy Award–winning drummer and composer Dion Parson has been leading the 21st Century Band for more than two decades. The outfit’s innovative sound bonds Virgin Islands traditions, such as Quelbe, and Caribbean expressions — reggae, calypso, soca, mento, ska, zouk, steel pan, chutney, and funk — with New Orleans and African influences. Whether you’re new to these sounds or they’re integral to your musical narrative, come hear their fresh and dynamic interpretations from Parson’s ensemble.
