About the band:
BrassWind is a high-energy horn band bringing the power of real horns and world-class musicianship back to the Mid-Atlantic.
The band was first envisioned in February 2017 by a group of local band directors who shared a common goal: revive the excitement and authenticity of a true horn-driven band. That vision became reality in January 2018 in Williamsburg, Virginia, and BrassWind has been lighting up stages ever since.
In an era where horn sections are becoming rare, BrassWind stands apart. Built around a powerhouse rhythm section, a dynamic horn line, and exceptional vocalists, the band delivers the unmistakable sound and energy that only a real horn band can provide. Their ever-expanding repertoire spans multiple genres and styles, making every performance fresh, engaging, and built to keep audiences moving.
BrassWind is made up primarily of retired and active-duty military musicians, along with several of the original charter-member band directors who helped launch the group. Their combined experience, discipline, and passion for music translate into tight arrangements, powerful performances, and a professional stage presence every time they play.
While the lineup and song list continue to evolve, the mission has never changed: bring high-quality live music back to Hampton Roads and beyond—and do it the right way.
Real horns. Real musicians. Real music.
