Rebirth Brass Band

The Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a globally renowned paragon of the New Orleans' brass band tradition. They are celebrated for melding their tradition with second-line, funk, jazz, soul, and hip-hop. Emerging from Treme's now shuttered Joseph S. Clark Senior High School in the Lower Ninth Ward, they are, alongside their brethren the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and New Birth Brass Band, simultaneously keepers of the lineage flame and pioneers in expanding that legacy on recordings and stages. In addition to releasing dozens of their own recordings since the 1980s, they have guested on albums by Trombone Shorty, Robbie Robertson, John Fogerty, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. They also made several appearances in the HBO docudrama Treme. Four of their albums, from 2000's Main Event: Live at the Maple Leaf Bar through 2014's Move Your Body, have landed on the jazz and blues charts in the United States. Four singles, including their version of the NOLA staple "When the Saints Go Marching In" and 2013's "Do Whatcha Wanna" have landed in the Top 40 on sales charts.
