New York Brass Band are North Yorkshire's only contemporary New Orleans inspired Brass Band. Hailing from the mean streets of York the band are part of a funky brass revolution that is sweeping the UK. Inspired by Rebirth, Soul Rebels, Hot 8, Youngblood and Brassroots, NYBB pack a powerful punch of relentless drums, rumbling tuba and wailing horns... nothing kicks a party into gear like the sound of a smokin' New Orleans Mardi Gras Jazz Band.

New York Brass Band is a powerhouse 7-piece, with a line-up of percussion, sax, trumpets, trombones and sousaphone. The band take its inspiration from contemporary New Orleans musicians, but have a repertoire that ranges from Marvin Gaye to George Michael, from Cee-Lo Green to Stevie Wonder, with some funky, gritty northern originals thrown in for good measure.

The band was formed in November 2010 by James Lancaster, and quickly established itself as a dynamic, flexible band who can perform outside acoustically at a drinks reception or street event, or amplified on a festival stage or club. No gimmicks, no backing tracks, no auto tune, this is music that gets people dancing and a band who make the audience feel part of the show!

2012 was an amazing year for NYBB with numerous festival performances including the legendary Cork Jazz Festival and the surreal Secret Garden Party. Many wedding parties have jumped to the sound of the NYBB while repeat bookings at Hifi Leeds and Richmix London are testament to the appeal of this hip young band. Corporate clients include Taylors of Harrogate, Arena Racecourses, Vibe Music and Continental Drifts.

2013 promises to be a very busy year with wedding bookings already in the diary and an invitation to play at Soundwave Festival in Croatia

The band's debut CD was released in April 2012 is available on the website. Even the restrained residents of the ancient City of York have found themselves letting their hair down and rocking the historic streets of the City.

Acoustic or amplified, sunshine or rain, indoors or out... NYBB will get the party started!
