Brotha Earth at UrbanBeat

Brotha Earth is a five-piece band featuring three former touring members of the legendary Motown band, Rare Earth. Floyd Stokes Jr., the dynamite drummer-vocalist for Rare Earth for nearly three decades, is showcased in the group. He’s shared stages with legends like James Brown, Blood Sweat and Tears and Kansas. Rounding out the lineup is Rick Warner (keys), Jerry Lew Patterson (guitar), Mocha (saxophone, flute, lead vocals) and bassist James Williams — who is also a co-founder of Root Doctor. Friday, check out the band at UrbanBeat in Old Town.
