A brass band rolls into the room and the night changes. Drinks go up, people start moving, and within a few minutes there's a parade weaving through the crowd — umbrellas spinning, guests following the music like it's Bourbon Street on a Saturday night. There's nothing else like it in the region.
We perform as a roaming New Orleans-style brass band and as a stationary stage band, because our musicians double on instruments — the keyboard player picks up the saxophone, and the same group that just paraded through your room can settle in and play a full set. One ensemble, two formats, no second hire.
Book it as a walkabout, a second-line parade, a stationary stage band , or all three across the same night. Matt Hill and the Classics are the annual Mardi Gras headliner at the at the Bridge Tavern Mardi Gras in Wheeling, and recently featured at the Pennsylvania Apartment Association trade show at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center
