Big A$$ Brass Band has performed at the Kessler Theater, been nominated for Dallas Observer’s and Central Track’s Music Awards, and did a residency at the House of Blues in Shanghai. Founded in 2015, The Big A$$ Brass Band is a powerhouse featuring the finest and funkiest of brass players. Their wild, raucous, and original blend of sounds is certain to please all audiences.
Blending funk, jazz and hip-hop, improvisation has made this band hugely popular in the Dallas area over the last few years. The energy and joy emanating from the band is thrilling. Band leader Kevin Butler observes, “It's like the nature of the music is, if you've got a horn or a drum, you can jump in or out at any point in time.” This brass band’s show is like New Orleans parade music that invites the audience to participate.
