Whether seen on HBO’s Treme or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, they’ve also extended themselves into the realms of funk and hip-hop to create their signature sound. “Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to,” says The New York Times, “but it’s more like a party than a machine. It’s a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what they’re doing, anyone can cut loose.” In the wake of the sometimes- stringent competition amongst New Orleans brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of slowing down.  

Electric Ramble is a band born from the rich, rhythmic heart of New Orleans—a city where music is a way of life. Blending the soul and groove of their hometown with the raw energy of classic rock, the band crafts a sound that's both deeply rooted in tradition and boldly modern. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Led Zeppelin, their music is a tapestry of swampy blues riffs, thunderous drums, and electrifying guitar solos, all tied together with a sense of adventure and a love for storytelling.
