RVA MUSIC FEST: No BS Brass Band

by | Sep 8, 2011 | COMMUNITY

This group, consisting of a drummer and somewhere around a dozen horn players, combines traditional brass-driven music like Dixieland jazz and R&B funk with influences taken from all over–klezmer, calypso, heavy metal, punk rock, you name it. Their live sets combine creative original compositions with all kinds of unexpected cover tunes (Rush, Led Zeppelin, Agent Orange, and more). Over the past few years, No BS! Brass Band has cultivated a multigenerational fanbase from all different scenes and walks of life, and with the recent release of a double LP, No BS!, they’re only going to take things farther from here. No BS! Brass Band will be performing during the RVA Music Fest on Stage Two of the Main Event on Sunday September 11.
