Polka for Pets at The Porch

Brave Combo’s music can be described as wild. The Denton-based quintet began 30 years ago as a band built around polka music, even though none of the five members grew up around it. Polka then opened a door to a myriad of traditional rhythms, including salsa, conjunto, zydeco, ska and punk.

So perhaps it’s not too far a stretch to understand that Brave Combo band member Carl Finch is also a friend to wild animals, particularly strays in need of rescue.

“My world is two things,” Finch said. “Music and animals. My wife and I are active in rescuing animals, and we have quite the menagerie.”
