The Curhachestra
In the early summer of 2021, Curtis Hasselbring debuted his new ensemble, the Curhachestra, at the Brooklyn venue, Barbes. After having a dream involving a trombone and a pedal steel guitar battling it out in microtones, Curtis got in touch with three of his favorite musicians, lap-steel wiz Raphael McGregor, electric bassist (and multi-instrumentalist) Adam Minkoff and groove maestro Dan Rieser on drums.
Original intending to play the electronic side of Curtis's music (under the moniker Curha), he put together a book of new and old music that spanned a very eclectic range (even more than usual for Hasselbring!) including music by Grant Green, the Pixies and plenty of Curtis's own unique music. The resulting show was a blast and the Curhachestra was borne.
The band has been playing steadily in NYC since then and has released unto the world their first eponymous recording in the spring of 2025.
