About The Volcanoes
The band consists of a mixture of brass, saxophones and drums. All of the band are professional jazz musicians who work together to create fabulous arrangements of popular and less well known tunes on the spot: ideas, solos and riffs are thrown around the band so that no two performances are ever the same. The music is filled with energy and life which draws the audience in a way unique to a band of this kind.
The Brass Volcanoes are inspired by a long tradition of Brass Bands from New Orleans as well as other parts of the world. They have their own interpretation of the style - playing a mix original songs unique to the band, arrangents of popular songs, Mardi Gras and jazz standards, funk classics...
True to the brass band spirit is the desire for everyone to have a good time through the excitement of creating and listening to great live music.
