Doors: 7PM | 7:30PM Horns of Leroy | 8:45PM TBC Brass Band

Stalwarts of the New Orleans Second Line and funk scene, TBC Brass Band make their Australian debut with a high energy party that is guaranteed to get you moving.

Teaming up with two-time GRAMMY nominee SpyBoy J'Wan Boudreaux—one of the Mardi Gras Indian community’s most revered singers—this 9-piece, all-star brass band weave elements of funk, hip hop and R&B into their setlist of infectious originals and raucous Mardi Gras classics.

From establishing themselves on the corner of NOLA’s legendary Bourbon and Canal Streets, to opening for bands like Kool & The Gang and The Who, to featuring as the subject of a documentary produced by The Roots, TBC Brass Band have traversed triumph and tragedy to become one of New Orleans’ most beloved bands.

Join us for an unforgettable night of funk-fueled brass-led grooves, direct from the streets of New Orleans. And let the good times roll...
