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.  

Hailing from Mamou, Louisiana, the "Zydeco Capital of the World," Pop/R&B artist LeTrainiump has captivated the music scene with his infectious sound and electrifying performances.  His unique style blends modern vocals reminiscent of Luther Vandross and Michael Jackson with nostalgic synths, Nile Rodgers-esque guitar riffs, and deep funk rhythms, all wrapped in a late '90s/early 2000s aesthetic. Beyond the music, LeTrainiump's high-energy live shows are inclusive, captivating, and cathartic, earning him performance slots everywhere from small clubs and regional festivals to the New Orleans Pelicans halftime show.
