The Steampunk inspired barbershop group Brass Farthing croon and serenade attendees at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. In this video they tell the story of one rapscallion of a trombonist who steals the heart of a concert-goer’s wife. With their Victorian clothing and brass aviator goggles, you can squint and almost imagine yourself within a Jules Verne novel.
