Youngblood Brass Band

With sharp execution, sharp tongue, and a pick-up-and-go ethos, the Youngblood Brass Band cleanly fuses elements of brass band jazz and hip-hop. Since their debut in 1998 with the album Word On the Street, YBB have been a shotgun blast to the eardrum, demanding attention from all that have had the fortune to hear them while they tour both the US and Europe.

Though centered in Madison, WI, YBB contains members from all over the continental US: Brooklyn, NY, New Orleans, LA, Corpus Christi, TX, Minneapolis, MN and Chicago, IL. Their current members and positions (in no particular order) are:

- D.H. Skogen on percussion and vocals
- Charley Wagner and Mike Boman on trumpet
- Matt Hanzelka and Jerome Harper on trombone
- Tony Barba and/or Zach Lucas on saxophones
- Tom Reschke, Moses Patrou and Jonah Gaster on percussion
- Jason Slack on sousaphone
