Most people’s initial reaction when first seeing the Red Wolf Brass Band is true surprise, but when they play, the band turns that astonishment into new fans just like you.
The band was phenomenal for my husband’s surprise 40th birthday second line parade. They played familiar songs that had us jamming the whole time! We had a couple small issues with communication prior to the event, but nothing major. Originally, the grand Marshall was a part of my package. They tried to say it wasn’t included anymore and then we did agree for us to have a grand Marshall but the day of, I never did see one. I didn’t have time to dispute it but I was a bit disappointed. Also, I kept asking about the route for the parade but never got clarity on the route until the day of. The route was literally a 10 minute walk. He said that if we walked slow it would be 30 minutes, but it was like 15-20 minutes. I would have liked to have gotten the full 30 minutes I paid for by going around another block or something but it was short.. They were the best price I found online. So overall, I would still recommend this band. It was an amazing experience.
everything I expected our out of town guest were blown away
They showed up and even started playing a little early. They were lively and so.much.fun. It was absolutely perfect for our son's 1st birthday party. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
The band was a blast! They were on time and very flexible, very easy to work with. They sounded great and strongly recommend.

Our group had a great time! Everyone a long the streets and in the bars was dancing and taking pictures. Great time!
Amazing band. We hired Red Wolf Brass Band for the second line at our wedding, and they did not disappoint. We got so many comments from our guests that absolutely loved the experience (most had never experienced a second line). I would book them again in a second!

The performance by Red Wolf Brass band was fabulous. They arrived before time with sufficient musicians. The music they played had me, my guest and others on the sideline stepping and dancing joyfully. I was well pleased.
Response from Red Wolf Brass Band:
Thank you we had a blast parading you through New Orleans. Please keep us in mind for all your entertainment needs.
The Red Wolf Brass Band sent my great-grandmother home on a high note. The band is very talented. They communicated well, were early to the event and just sounded great. They played songs by request as well. I would definitely hire them again for future events.
Response from Red Wolf Brass Band:
Thank you for letting us be a part of your great grandmother's celebration of life because in New Orleans we do not mourn the passing we celebrate the life.

We were set to have my son's 40th birthday second line when disaster struck. The band leader called to say that the NOPD would not be giving out any permits for the 2 weekends before Mardi Gras. We were pretty disappointed, but what can you do? Well, you can run your second line on the down low. They were great! Arrived on time at the venue and played a good variety of songs. Our guests, mostly from out of town, were delighted!! The day was saved!!
Response from Red Wolf Brass Band:
Hey the show must go on and we definitely like putting on a show lol. Thank you for your business
Desmond and the band were warm, professional, great musicians and generous with their time and talents. They were perfect for the occasion and I couldn’t have asked for a better band. My dearly departed mother was in good hands. Thank you!

Terrific working with Desmond. The music was great and he was extremely professional.
Our group was from Canada so we were unsure how to go about booking everything. Desmond (the band leader) was great about communicating with us about all the details, booked the route and police escorts for us, and was at the starting location well ahead of our set start time to setup.
The band itself was really great and energetic, and we all had a really great time, and played some (I think) New Orleans style music as well as a few pop songs. And once we reached the end of our route, the band stuck around and played another song or two while people joined in on dancing from the street.
Thanks Red Wolf!
Response from Red Wolf Brass Band:
Thank you for your business and we had a blast playing for you
These guys were great! Great musicians and fun with our guests.
Even though the cops were late to provide the escort and then totally CHANGED OUR ROUTE (adding an extra 8 blocks of walking) without telling us, RED WOLF kept on going along with us.
Thanks for your patients guys!
Hire them!
Desmond, did exactly as he said. Timely cordial and talented. Great brass. Made the event into a wonderful experience. Thank you.
Response from Red Wolf Brass Band:
Thank you for considering the Red Wolf Brass Band and thank you for your business.
Band arrived promptly, dressed for action, and in high spirits.
Our miniature parade went off without a hitch. Red Wolf is a solid band, and had some great song selections.
Highly recommend, we will treasure this memory forever.
Response from Red Wolf Brass Band:

Thank you for giving the Red Wolf Brass Band opportunity to be part of your special day. Iy was a pleasure to play for such a great couple.
My wife and I used Red Wolf Brass Band for a Second Line out of our reception on Fulton Street in New Orleans and we couldn't have asked for a better band. They showed up on time and sounded AMAZING! We had people texting and calling us for the next several days to tell us that the the highlight of our wedding was the 2nd line band. They even had one band member playing, while balancing on a neon hover board! https://www.facebook.com/pkevin67/posts/1069384286444254. If the link works, that is a link to a small video that a stranger took from off the street. Can't say enough about the band! Thank you so much.
