At The Lied
Mnozil Brass, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Kimball Recital Hall. The Austrian brass ensemble known as the “Monty Python of the music world” makes its Nebraska debut with a program that highlights the most popular works of its 25-year career.
Described as “a combination circus band, village band, marching band and vaudeville orchestra,” the seven Mnozils are three trumpets, three trombones and a tuba player and comedians, who do much of their work in the U.S. silently as they speak German.
In The Clubs
Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials, 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Zoo Bar. Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials return to the Zoo Bar for two shows this weekend. Master showman Lil’ Ed Williams is one of the last connections to the post-war Chicago blues — he learned slide guitar from his uncle J.B. Hutto — and has been delivering red-hot bottleneck boogie, a la Hound Dog Taylor, at the Zoo and across the country for more than 30 years.
