Press notes describe the event as "Entrain's energetic percussion-driven sound will captivate the audience with an explosive 2 hours of drum ensemble pieces with rhythms and instruments from all over the world, as well as the full band playing tunes from their extensive catalog that contains this positive message. The use of projected screen imaging will enhance the show and help to create a visual spectacle. There will be some audience participation as well as some special guests joining Entrain on stage.

With songs like the African flavored "All One (We Are All Connected)" to the hip hop funk chant of "Drums For Peace" and the anthem rock "Arm Yourself With Love" as well as the Brazilian samba call for environmental concern "Letter To The World", and "Color Blind" celebrating racial equality, this will certainly be an afternoon and evening of positive vibes and fun for the entire Cape community.

Taking their name from the word "Entrainment" - the synchronization of rhythms - Entrain's goal is not only to entertain, but to leave the audience more in synch (entrained) with the global community that is our world".

The one of a kind percussion driven high energy Martha's Vineyard-based, six-piece ENTRAIN has been thrilling critics and fans since its inception. ENTRAIN has recorded (7) albums that are available on Dolphin Safe Records. With enough drums to sink a battleship, ENTRAIN has been praised for their ability to shift effortlessly between musical styles- rock, blues, calypso and ska, to zydeco, jazz and funk-often within the same song. ENTRAIN has jammed with the likes of singer/songwriter James Taylor, The Grateful Dead's Bobby Weir, and rock legend Bo Diddley-not to mention amateur saxophonist and former leader of the free world Bill Clinton.
