Made our night even more magical.

The Brass Bros played a second line for our wedding, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out. Our guests were wowed, and the level of professionalism and skill was exactly what we had hoped for.

Thank you for making our night unforgettable!

About

THE BRASS BROTHERS are able to accommodate a wide variety of venues. We can bring what's needed to entertain your guests.

Dexter Thomas Sr, Horns & Vocals / “Big” Michael Richardson Sr, Horns & Vocals
Dexter and “Big” Mike hold down the brass section, from trumpet to flugelhorn to trombone to anything else we can drag up on stage.
We’ve played with Larry Kimpel of Frankie Beverly & Maze, opened for The Spinners, appeared on television as a house band for David Tutera's Celebrations, and were even featured in a Converse shoe commercial (yes, they let us keep the shoes).
We’ve played at the legendary Clifton’s in Los Angeles, at the Los Angeles Mardi Gras Festival, the Solvang Jazz Festival, PGA West, Tommy Bahama’s, Agua Caliente, and more.

THE BAND IS NOT A STATIC CONFIGURATION. I pull together talent and adapt to your event's needs.
We play Blues, jazz, funky jazz, swing, country, reggae, R&B from the 60s and 70s. We are good and entertaining!
