Celebrating over 45 years since their founding in 1977, the GRAMMY Award-winning New Orleans-based Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres, including bebop jazz, funk and R&B/soul. This unique sound, described by the band as a “musical gumbo”, has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than thirty countries, record twelve studio albums and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Forty-five plus years later, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world-famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances.

“Since the late 70’s, this Grammy Award winning band out of New Orleans and comprised of seasoned musicians have uniquely managed to mix the traditional sound of brass band music with bebop, jazz, funk, R&B and soul. They haven’t stopped touring the world for over 45 years. You can expect an uplifting set full of lively tunes with a few melodic moments drawing on not only tradition, but also contemporary sounds of today.”
