How lucky I feel to have had such a great group of musicians play at my husband's retirement party! Not only were they on time, but they sounded so professional! I'm so grateful for the 2nd Line parade they did for the grand entrance. People are still talking about how good the music was! Highly recommend them! Would for sure hire them again! Thank you for making our evening so much fun!

Walter and his fellow band mates were amazing. My family booked them for my father’s funeral. We had a second line procession at the cemetery and played at our reception. My Papa loved music and had a special place in his heart for the NOLA sound. These guys delivered on everything we would have wanted for our dad. I’d like to add how amazingly professional these guys were to boot! There was an issue for our venue and without knowing, they handled the whole thing without stressing us in the slightest. Can’t tell you how much that means on top of the beautiful music they played.

They went above and beyond to drive to Malibu for our crazy birthday beach picnic and were so great playing and leading us up and down the beach - even the tuba worked its way up the sand - pretty spectacular! Walter is so easy to work with! - The party was a HUGE success and the band just set the tone perfectly! - Thank you Red Light Brass Band - next time we need a location that allows for even more brass!!! - So fun!

This band was a great touch of New Orleans for me. My family enjoyed the surprise appearance of the band. They played all of my favorite tunes. We had an awesome time. Would definitely use again.

I hired Red Light for a Mardi Gras party hosted in my private home. Their manager was communicative throughout the entire process and very happy to help me realize my vision from the music they played to what they wore. The theme of the party was a Mardi Gras “House Float,” and they had fun with it, acting like they were on a real Mardi Gras Krewe float in a parade! The band leader arrived on time, even a few minutes early to set up, and was very low maintenance. They enthusiastically led my second line block parade. The kiddos at the event were asking to “do it again!” I highly recommend them, and will definitely be booking them for my next party!
We booked them (alongside a string group) for a church event and they were punctual. When a few schedule changes occurred, they were able to adjust to the new times and were patient with me. They delivered the music beyond my expectations and hope to work with them again in the future!
They were communicative through whole process and timely. Thanks for coming to play!

We had the Red Light Brass Band come play for a bit on our balcony. The band was incredibly flexible with the space and the event. Neighbors from other apartment buildings even opened their windows to listen. Would highly recommend and would book again.
