Upcoming Show: Rebirth Brass Band @ Underground Arts 12/5.

The Rebirth Brass Band are no strangers to Philadelphia. We picked the band from New Orleans’ French Quarter as one of the shows to catch on New Year’s Eve weekend in 2012 at The Blockley (R.I.P.) and the band has played everywhere locally from Union Transfer to Ardmore Music Hall and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.

This weekend they return to the city, playing Underground Arts on Saturday, December 5, with  shows at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Receiving press from The New York Times, appearing in Treme, being a “must see” when in New Orleans according to Anthony Bourdain, this nine-piece outfit puts on a loud, lively, high-energy show and is sure to blow away the crowd at UA.

Oh, and this guy co-signs:

just saw THE REBIRTH BRASS BAND, unbelievable. hard as hell, free as a ray of light, there is not a band on earth that is better. stunning.

Hearing this big sound in a small room like Underground Arts will only amplify the sound. And energy.
