Turkuaz, which played at the Mardi Gras celebration in Snowmass Village on March 5, was formed in 2011 and has drawn acclaim, including the New Yorker writing, “The band delivers horn-filled funk incorporating elements of R&B, psychedelic pop, gospel, Afro-pop, New Wave, classic rock and just about any genre that gets people dancing.”
