Rebirth Brass Band
Founded in 1983 by brothers Keith and Phillip Frazier, along with trumpeter Kermit Ruffins (known in addition to his music for playing himself on the HBO series “Treme”) and a handful of students from the neighborhood high school marching band, Rebirth Brass Band provides audiences with a vibrant and complex overview of New Orleans’ musical evolution. By merging the city’s horn-heavy second line tradition with elements of jazz, hip hop and other African American musical traditions, the group has become a Crescent City institution. Funky Indiana rock act The Main Squeeze and Louisiana party monsters Naughty Professor open Saturday’s show.
