About the Artist/Ensemble
BrassWind is composed completely of retired & active-duty military in addition to some of the original charter-member educators that have remained. Though the roster and genres have changed, the mission has always been the same. Styles range from Motown, R&B, Jazz, Soul, and Funk. To bring back good quality music to Hampton Roads and beyond…and to do it the right way. The way it was meant to be done…an incredibly gifted rhythm section paired with real horns and exceptional vocals!
Concert/Performance Description
BrassWind is eclectic in the styles and genres it covers, and the band can cater and customize to any situation needed. The concert/performance can just as easily be tailored from an educational masterclass approach or pure high-quality entertainment. The genres/styles can be tailored for an in-depth ‘sit-down, listen, and appreciate the complexity experience just as easily as it can be tailored to a high-energy ‘get up and dance’ experience. BrassWind can truly deliver on all levels.
