The Dirty Dozen Brass Band

Supported by JoAnn Bell, Kevin Hanick, and others

About:  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. Roger Lewis – Baritone Sax/Vocals, Gregory Davis – Trumpet/Vocals, Kirk Joseph – Sousaphone, Trevarri Huff-Boone – Tenor Sax/Vocals, Stephen Walker – Trombone/Vocals, Julian Addison – Drums, Takeshi Shimmura – Guitar
