About this concert
Since 2010, the Brass-A-Holics have been taking their unique sound around the world. Steeped in the deep musical culture of New Orleans, the band brings a heavy dose of go-go funk to the New Orleans brass sound. In a blending of musical cultures stemming from cities separated by more than a thousand miles, a Brass-a-Holics live show takes the New Orleans brass band culture and infuses it with the electricity of Washington D.C.'s go-go. The resulting sound is both captivating and unique. The band consists of core New Orleans brass elements- trumpet, trombone, saxophone- and adds a full drum set, percussion, keyboard, bass and electric guitar, giving the band limitless options to explore new sonic territory.

Brass-A-Holics Biography
In the year 2010, a brand new sound was born. The Brass-A-Holics joined the ranks of the time honored traditions, culture and music that have come out of the great city of New Orleans, Louisiana.
The band consists of core New Orleans brass elements – trombone, trumpet, saxophone, and features a full drum set, percussion, keyboard, bass and electric guitars. A Brass-A-Holics show is a singular experience where you will hear influences of Chuck Brown, Miles Davis, Nirvana, John Coltrane, Wham, Cyndi Lauper, Kanye West, and Louis Armstrong all in one energetic set!
The band was conceived in the mind of Trombonist, Winston Turner, whose roots stem from the St. Augustine High School Marching 100, the Southern University Human Jukebox, The Pinstripes Brass Band, and The Soul Rebels Brass Band.
He created the Brass-A-Holics with the vision of merging the unrivaled New Orleans brass sound with Washington DC's Go-Go groove.
The Brass-A-Holics have an international presence performing festivals in New Orleans, Miami, Washington DC, New York, Brazil, and are set to perform in Israel in August 2015. Over time, the band has shared the stage with a number of notable artists in the likes of Allen Toussaint, Public Enemy, The Black Keys, Hall & Oates, Trombone Shorty, Dr. John, and Grace Potter & The Nocturnals; and have also creatively collaborated with The Chuck Brown Band, Sugar Bear from EU, Rockin’Dopsie Jr, Big Freedia, and Dee-1.
