So nice, they had to do it twice!

In case you missed them last night, you can catch NOLA's Rebirth Brass Band today (7/9) at noon for a free concert as part of BAM's Rhythm & Blues Festival at MetroTech.

BAM says: One of the indispensable staples in the New Orleans music scene, Rebirth Brass Band is known for their vintage, tuba-driven style that incorporates funk, soul, jazz and hip-hop into a classic march-music repertoire. Formed in 1983, the band has gone from marching the streets of the French Quarter to playing sold-out shows around the world. Committed to maintaining the traditional “second line” style, Rebirth grants their heavy funk and irresistible groove a relevance that resonates with old-school fans and first-time listeners alike.

Feel Like Funkin' It Up

According to their Myspace page: "Simply put, The Rebirth Brass Band is a New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the now infamous Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. Rebirth is committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands while at the same time incorporating modern music into their show. Their signature brand of heavy funk has not only won over several generations of music lovers, it has become the soundtrack to an entire city. In the wake of the sometimes-stringent competition amongst brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of slowing down."

They play BB King's tonight (7/8) @ 8PM.
