Unfaded Brass Bass exceeded our expectations! The Band delivered and made myself and our guests feel like we were back at home in New Orleans. Our guests from Texas are still talking about it to this day. They have never witnessed anything like it. I Thank you guys so much for coming through and making our day even more enjoyable! The band was AMAZING
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
Hello Ms. Tangela,
Thank you for that feedback. We truly appreciate it. Your event was off the chain. We had a great time. Please keep us in mind for any future events.
Kind regards,
Gerald Daniels
Unfaded Brass Band was fantastic! They engaged with the crowd and were so fun to watch.
Our company has booked Unfaded Brass Band 2 years in a row for corporate events with 200-300 associates in attendance at our site. Each time, they were awesome! Our staff enjoyed listening to them play and sing! We've had a great time creating such memorable experiences with this group!
Unfaded Brass Band and their Indian did a phenomenal job for my daughter's reception. They exceeded my expectations. They were full of energy and kept the party going. Their performance was top notch and our guest were amazed with quality of their performance. Justina was very informative and showed me great customer service. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them for my future events. Thanks for making my daughter's reception memorable!
As a wedding planner, I love to help my bride and groom create memorable experiences. Unfaded Brass Band was a delightful surprise for our guests at then end of the wedding for the bride & groom's exit, but especially surprised by the 1 mile 2nd line procession crossing the White Rock Lake spillway to White Rock Brewery. The party there was a HUGE success and know the guests will be talking about it for years to come!
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
Thank you! We had an awesome time. So glad the bride and groom were happy with our performance. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.
I used the Unfaded Brass Band for my wedding and they did not disappoint! Very professional and easy to work with. They accommodated all of my requests and communicated throughout the time before my event. The music took us to New Orleans and brought everything together. If you are considering a brass band BOOK THEM NOW if they are available.
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
Greetings Mrs. Kairi,
Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of your wedding celebration. We had a great time. We appreciate you and your husband. Looking forward to working with you all again.
Be Blessed,
Gerald Daniels
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Out guest LOVED the brass band. I’m from Nola and my husband is from Fort Worth. His family had never saw anything like a NOLA second line. Mr. Gerald made sure everything was take. Care of and it reminded me like back at home!! It was such an amazing experience for others. I enjoyed myself a lot!! My family and I from Nola was getting down!!
The band was amazing!!! They far exceeded my expectations. We are from New Orleans and wanted to bring a little of our culture to Texas through our party. The band Showed Up and Showed Out!!! These Texas folks were in Awe. The band was on time and kept everyone dancing especially Mr. Jones (the party host).
I can't recommend this group enough! They were professional, punctual, and flexible as the first part of our event ran a little bit longer than planned. Even 3 months later, people are STILL talking about how much they added to the evening, and their musicianship was excellent. :)
I hope to be able to use them again soon!
We had Unfaded play at our wedding reception as the walk in music for the guests and our wedding party. They played exceptionally well and really allowed us to set the tone for the rest of the night. They were very punctual and sounded amazing.
Unfaded brass band did all the things to make my wedding memorable. Guests are still talking about our reception entrance. Band was on point and sounded amazing; most definitely made a dream come to reality. Thank you, thank you!!
Unfaded played at our daughter’s graduation party. When they marched down our street, all of our neighbors came out to listen to the show! They were the highlight of the party, and all of the guests - kids and adults - loved the music. We will definitely have them again for another party.
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
Mrs. Prieur, We had a great time. Wish we could've stayed and hung out. Thank you again for inviting us. Greatly appreciated.
As an event planner, having vendors I can rely on to create special moments and lasting memories for my clients is of the highest importance. That's why Unfaded Brass band will always be the preferred and recommended band of choice. Each time they have provided a Second Line experience for my clients, it is one of the most exciting and funs times of the event. On top of good music and a good time, they are professional, punctual, and so great to work with! I couldn't ask for a better experience!
Unfaded Brass Band is a forever #1 recommendation for me!
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
It is an honor and a privilege to work with you. We are forever grateful. Thank you.
The Unfaded Brass Band was phenomenal and authentic Second Line Music. They arrived on time, set up quickly and discreetly. Opened the ceremony with some sweet ceremonial music. When we walked to the cemetry and back, they led the way. They had four more gigs that day but blended perfectly into our crowd. Almost everyone said that the UBB was the best part of the Ceremony. I already told my daughters when its my turn, call them back.
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
Thank you, sir! Blessings to you and your family.
AMAZING is an understatement…they brought our Dallas wedding HOME (NOLA)! I will watch our videos for years to come. I can’t thank you all enough for making our 20th wedding celebration one to remember 🙏🏾 Prompt, professional, unmatched sound, pure EXCELLENCE!
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
Thank you so much. Thank you again for inviting us. We had a great time.
I am a wedding planner and had the pleasure of working with and enjoying Gerald and his Unfaded Brass Band at a recent wedding! He was very responsive, professional and the music they performed was perfect. My couple definitely enjoyed themselves during their performance along with their guests!

The band provided such a memorable experience for our Jack and Jill families! Highly recommended!
Hired the band to play at my mother’s surprise 75th birthday party. The smile on her face spoke volumes. Your play brought out the youthful NO girl. Truly the highlight of the event. Your professionalism and play were outstanding. Everyone danced and enjoyed themselves, and I felt like the GOAT of party planning. Thanks, you made this a memorable event.
Band was awesome, I highly recommend Unfaded Brass Band. They helped make my day a wonderful one!
Our guests are still talking about this performance and how much they enjoyed dancing to Unfaded Brass Band. We booked them as the closing band for the Cedars Open Studios 20th Anniversary Tour and I only wish we had booked them for more time. They are professional and quick to respond to bookings, showed up on time and kindly worked with us on last-minute changes due to the cold weather. Everyone was so friendly and really knew how to get the crowd going. We look forward to working with them again!
The band is incredible! We had the band play at the end of our wedding reception and all of our guests were raving about how awesome they were. This truly made our entire wedding night. The band brought so much energy to their performance and engaged the crowd - would highly recommend for any event!
I have recommended Unfaded Brass Band to several of my brides. I love the energy and fun this band adds to the reception! Your guests will dance the entire time the band is playing. Definitely a plus to any event.

Book Unfaded brass band for your next event you will NOT be disappointed. They are very professional, punctual, and sound AMAZING!! The band was the highlight of my husband’s 40th birthday party. Thank you for making his party unforgettable!!
I have worked with this band twice! They go above and beyond and put on a fantastic show! They were hired for the wedding I was a planner at for a Second Line Parade that I just did on October 8, 2022 and were the talk of the party all night long! They are professional and their performance is the best! If you are wanting something special for your big day, whether it is a wedding or other event, you have to hire this company! They are the best of the best!
The Unfaded Brass Band played a second line celebration that led from my daughter’s wedding ceremony to her reception - straight through downtown Dallas. The joy of the day was supported masterfully by their music. Our guests had a fabulous time and passers by along the street joined in the fun too. They then played for a Sunday morning brunch the next day, providing a taste of church for grateful listeners.
This band is made up of talented musicians who are creative, reliable, prompt & courteous. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Everyone had a great time! Thank you again for such an epic evening!
The Unfaded Brass Band showed up and showed out. You all were timely, professional and your performance was AMAZING!! Our guests are still talking about you. Thank you for bringing New Orleans flavor to the Dallas Cowboys Club and for making my husband’s birthday party EPIC!
I had seen UBB perform three years before I hired them. The fact that I remembered them so clearly when it came time for me to book a band should tell you just how memorable and wonderful an experience it was. When I started planning my 40th birthday and decided on a Second Line, I wrote them immediately. They arrived on time and ready to turn the party out. It's been over a month, and my friends are still talking about how awesome they were. We danced, jammed, and sang the whole set. I'm trying to think of another event I can plan just so I can hire them again. If you're reading this and are on the fence about hiring UBB, get off and call them NOW. You can thank me later.
Unfaded Brass Band was absolutely fantastic in all ways. When I first reached out to see if they were available for my event they were prompt to respond and extremely accommodating. On the day of the event, they arrived early with ample time to get situated before it was time for them to play. All of the band members were very nice and excited to be there. Their performance really packed a punch and all of the guests loved the vibe. all of the guests were on their feet dancing. Very happy with Unfaded Brassband to say the least.
I booked the band for my 45th bday party. Their performance made me feel like I was back in New Orleans. My guest enjoyed it they were on time and Jermaine even put his Indian suit on for me. I will always refer them to others and book them for anything I give.
Unfaded Brass Band played an out of town venue for us, and they were very professional and put on a great show! Several hundred attendees had smiles on their faces as they listened to the music and watch the guys do their thing.
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:
Thanks again Mr. Rob for inviting us to your event. Looking forward to possibly coming back next year.

These guys come from NOLA but live in Dallas now. Not 100% sure, but I think they were displaced by Katrina and now call Dallas home. I hired them for a quick, 30-minute celebration during my wife's 40th birthday. They did not disappoint! They showed up on time, all dressed alike. They came in exactly as we requested to surprise the birthday girl. Talented musicians. Great energy. Fun playlist. They made the party!
Response from Unfaded Brass Band:

Unfaded Brass Band is comprised of 10 members from New Orleans and surrounding areas that have assembled together to incorporate elements of hip-hop, jazz, soul, and pop music and added the brass band framework to it. . The band has members from Mississippi, but most were born and raised in New Orleans. After being displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, members of the band fled to Dallas and planted their roots within the city. In 2014, our founder, Jermaine Devezin saw the need to bring the brass band culture to the Dallas area based on the growing number of fellow New Orleanians who along with the band now call Dallas home.
The band has performed at many events. From the streets of Deep Ellum. Klyde Warden Park to the grand ballrooms of the finest and unique hotels; from dinner cruises to Mardi Gras Balls. The band has been thoroughly enjoyed by many people. We are committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands. Whether you desire a large stage band, parade band, or small intimate band, Unfaded Brass Band can provide the awesome New Orleans atmosphere to entertain and fit any occasion.
One unique New Orleans tradition Unfaded loves to showcase is the soulful, colorful second-line parade. Where audiences hop, skip, and dance in front of, alongside, and behind the brass band. Waving handkerchiefs or twirling decorative umbrellas. The band can parade through functions or escort groups to restaurants, riverboats, and other destinations in this great New Orleans style.
Another great tradition the band offer is the “Mardi Gras Indian”. The band’s founder Jermaine Devezin is also a part of the 9th Ward Black Hachette tribe. Mardi Gras Indians are well known in New Orleans, Louisiana, and many dress up for Mardi Gras in suits influenced by Native American ceremonial apparel.
One beauty of this awesome band is that we appeal to everyone. And are true to the traditional brass bands. We perform at festivals, clubs, weddings, parades, conventions, birthday parties, crawfish boils, picnics, Mardi Gras parties, school seminars for kids and funerals…
Nothing too specific that we would need. Just space and opportunity.
