Secondhand Street Band is a high-energy, New Orleans-based street band. We play jazz, New Orleans trad, and funk tunes while trying to help our crowds have as much fun as we're having. We are typically a 6- to 8-piece band (but can sometimes bring an even larger group if you desire), with drums, tuba, trumpet, trombone, sax, clarinet, guitar and vocals in our lineup of musicians. Come find us on Royal Street sometime and say hi!
It has taken be a bit to leave a review but I am so glad to do so now. We were getting married in NOLA and were from Tennessee. Dan went above and beyond to answer the MANY questions I had. He was very patient and gave much useful information on getting permits and such. The day of our wedding they were there early/on time. Very professional and fun guys. Awesome music and a great attitude in the August heat. They even hung out and payed a couple extra songs at the end of our parade. I would recommend then for anyone wanting a good band that is laid back and fun and extremely reasonably priced. Thanks again guys.
Secondhand Street Band will not disappoint! They went above and beyond and were the life of the party! If you are looking for a band that will leave your guests in awe then these are your guys. A big thank you to Dan and everyone else for making our wedding so much fun!
Response from Secondhand Street Band:
Thanks, Brittian, for the excellent review. We had a blast at your wedding!
We hired SSB for a second-line to celebrate the end of my 30s/beginning of my 40s, and they were spectacular from start to finish! They answered all my many questions with lightning speed and were very flexible. They showed up right on time and were ready to go, and they played beautifully! Great group, highly highly HIGHLY recommended.

I had been searching for a for second line parade. I happened across these guys. I had never this before and still unsure permits and such. DAN went above and beyond to me out. On the day of our wedding they arrived early and were great. I would suggest anyone is looking a band give these guys a try. I can not say thanks enough.
These guys are the best! Dan was amazing in the organization and adaptability of our special day. A BIG thank-you to all of you!!!
Dan and the other band members were amazing. From the initial connection of what I needed and was looking for in a band to the details of what songs we wanted they were perfect. The band played for our Pre ceremony party and for our ceremony our friend sang with them for "come a closer walk with thee" and my guests absolutely loved it!! Dan even asked us what we wanted them to wear and where to stand and no kidding I am picky picky and attention to detail is what I do and was super pleased. My guests loved them, I have people asking me who they are and I know they will be seeing more of us in the future. How special they helped make our day.
Response from Secondhand Street Band:
Thanks, Lisa, for the great review! Your wedding was beautiful and we're glad to have been a part of it. Your friend Genie has a phenomenal voice...she can come sing with us anytime! Best wishes to you, Derick, and the rest of your friends and family.
I hired the band for a Second line parade in while I was on vacation in New Orleans from California. We lost my Dad last year and it would have been his 73rd birthday (he was from Louisiana) so I surprised my mom with this parade. On the day of the parade it was raining with up to 40 mph winds but the band knew how special this would be for my family and they put on the most amazing Parade and even played a stand still of my Dad's favorite song bringing my Mom, my sister and me to tears. We had actually had to brave a flood to get out to New Orleans from our rental house and we were all in edge and in a pretty bad mood by the time we got to the start site but they made the parade experience so fun for us that all that melted away and I can honestly say I had the best time in my 33 years on thus earth. If you get a chance to be in New Orleans you should do 2 things: 1. Throw a parade for yourself or your friends or because it is a day that ends in "Y" and 2. Hire the Secondhand Street Band. Life is short so do it right!
Response from Secondhand Street Band:
Wow...what a great review. Thanks! We were glad to be able to help you celebrate your Dad and melt your stress away on a rainy afternoon. (And thank YOU for the awesome song request...I've been listening to Sam Cooke all day!)
