Griz Gifford & Company in Concert
Griz Gifford & Company is a roaring New Orleans style brass band, perfect for parties (birthday, etc.), outdoor events, Mardi Gras, and any time you want to really get your guests grooving to the bold, brassy New Orleans sound. The instrumentation is flexible (depending on the venue and the budget) from the core of four pieces (trumpet, trombone, tuba and drums) up to eight or nine. The group can play from a stationary position, march around, or both.

August 22, 2024I asked Griz to play “When the Saints Go Marching In” when my dad’s ashes were carried out of a church. They did that wonderfully well and also teamed up with (and rehearsed with) the organist and the choir. The musical blend was flawless. They also played Dixieland numbers before the service and entertained at a memorial lunch right after the service. These guys love their music and it shows in their performance. I had high expectations and they were exceeded.

May 7, 2023the wife and myself both lost a parent in the past year and we thought as a tribute to them, we could have a New Orleans style funeral procession to start our party off. Griz came through and were the life of the party playing jazz music for our guests. Would hire them again in the future. Great communications and follow through!

March 9, 2023Griz Gifford & Company made my husband's 40th birthday Mardi Gras! They are simply the kindest and most talented group of musicians. Even bearing the chilly March temperatures so we could celebrate outside. From beginning to end Griz had great communication and kindness. I hope we get to work with them again in the future. THANK YOU GRIZ & COMPANY!
