About us
We are Heavy Beat Brass Band, the UK's most authentic New Orleans-style brass band.
​
We are passionate about bringing the vibrant, soulful sounds of Mardi Gras music to life, just as it was meant to be played. Comprising eight young, professional musicians, our band has been personally mentored by Keith Frazier of New Orleans' own Rebirth Brass Band. This mentorship has infused our performances with the fire and soul that New Orleans music is celebrated for worldwide.
Whether on stage, in the streets, at festivals, or during parades, we deliver electrifying performances that never hold back. Our music aims to uplift and bring positivity to our audiences, creating unforgettable experiences with every note.
