Get ready for a high-energy, brass-fueled Mardi Gras explosion – The Brass Funkeys are hitting the road for their most vibrant headline tour yet!
The Brass Funkeys are the unstoppable force at the forefront of the UK brass band scene. Since bursting onto the scene in 2011, this electrifying 9-piece ensemble has redefined the brass band genre with a sound that fuses their bold personalities and diverse musical influences while staying true to their New Orleans roots. Over more than a decade, they’ve captivated audiences across the UK and Europe,
setting festival stages and dancefloors alight with their explosive, high-energy performances.
From Glastonbury and Boomtown to Love Supreme and the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Brass Funkeys have become a must-see act, delivering unforgettable sets brimming with infectious energy and genre-bending creativity. They’ve graced iconic venues like Ronnie Scott’s, KOKO, and the Cambridge Corn Exchange, building a reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts around.
Their latest EP collection – Crunch (2020), Ruin (2021), Live at Cambridge Junction (2021), and More is More (2022) – showcases their fearless approach to music, seamlessly blending New Orleans brass with 90s house, thrash metal, and liquid drum ’n’ bass. Whether delivering brass-powered renditions of girl band anthems or heavy metal classics, their irreverent style and unmatched stage
presence always leave crowds wanting more. Their two earlier albums (The Brass Funkeys [2014] and Rabble Rouser [2017]) earnt critical acclaim, regular radio plays on the likes of Jazz FM and Jazz on 3.
