Hailing from the vibrant streets of New York City, Brass Monkeys is an electrifying brass band breathing new life into the soulful sounds of New Orleans. Picture the lively parades of the French Quarter meeting the bustling energy of Times Square, and you'll start to grasp the essence of our sound. Our seasoned horn section, backed by a tight rhythm section, weaves together the best of both worlds. From timeless NOLA classics that transport you to Bourbon Street to chart-topping hits that get everyone dancing, our music bridges generations and genres. Whether you're a brass band enthusiast or a newcomer, we're sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
Can’t say enough good things about this band. Excellent communication, catered to our playlist (and learned a song for our party), showed up early - and most importantly - they sounded phenomenal. Our entire party was blown away by the performance. Great group of musicians - money well spent!
The Brass Monkeys were AMAZING!!! I cannot stress that enough. My husband and I wanted a 2nd line parade for our wedding and not only was communication prompt, cordial, and thorough, but they were on time, and really were the best part of our festivities. They made our entire party. It was so hot out but they played their hearts out as we danced up Harlem. Please don’t hesitate to book them!!
Talented and professional. Great energy. Thank you!
I hired Brass Monkeys for my son's music themed 4th birthday and they did a great job from beginning to end. Communication was clear and friendly and they even learned how to play a song I requested that wasn't already part of their repertoire. They arrived exactly on time and the kids and adults had a blast dancing to the music. They then lead the kids in a march around the playground to When the Saints Go Marching In as the kids played along with instruments from the party. Everyone had an absolute blast and I would definitely hire again and highly recommend that you do too!
