About Street Beat Brass

As seen on ABC’s Good Morning America and over a dozen other TV appearances.  Chosen by the US State Department, Street Beat has officially represented American culture on multiple international tours.  It has also opened for the New York Philharmonic, played at the Kentucky Derby since 2019, and NYC Five Boro Bike Tour since 2015. Lead by New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Fellow Jeff Fairbanks, this strolling brass band plays a diverse range of music, from New Orleans Jazz and NoLaFunk to Latin Jazz, Pop, Polka, Gospel, and Klezmer.  Formed in 2012, the band has performed nearly 600 times, at over 225 venues, with clientele including over 140 corporations and over 30 event/branding companies.  It has been honored to perform at events headlined by the likes of Jim Gaffigan, Seth Rogen, Michael Strahan and more.

Unlike most bands, Street Beat Brass can stroll and march un-tethered to electric chords, amps, stages, etc. No one forgets seeing and hearing the high-energy spectacle of its roving musical party train!  Consisting of trumpet, sax, trombone, sousaphone, and drums, it is completely acoustic and mobile enough to play any type of event, such as strolling, processionals, parades, leading a Nola second line, as well as parties, concerts, church services, traditional music venues, and more.  Each hand-picked member is also a conservatory-trained Jazz musician who can improvise creatively off the written tunes, adding their individual voice. When not performing with Street Beat, you may find its members variously playing in Broadway shows, teaching at prestigious music schools, and performing and recording as freelancers throughout NYC.

Street Beat's repertoire includes many originals as well as familiar tunes from each tradition’s songbook, arranged in its unique, urban and energetic vibe.  It's first album Get in the Beat (Big Sky Press) was released in 2018, and its second album, of all-original music, has been recorded and is currently under post-production.  Join our email list to get updates.

Street Beat has 100% positive reviews on Google, Yelp and also a site called The Bash --- where it has over 50 reviews and has been rated the top brass band in the US and Canada for three years in a row!   Bring us to your event so you can add your own review!
