Hot 8 Brass Band Tickets

Hot 8 Brass Band formed in 1995 in New Orleans, born from the merging of two early brass ensembles. Co-founders Bennie Pete, Jerome Jones, and Harry Cook helped fuse traditional New Orleans brass with contemporary influences, creating a sound that spans jazz, hip hop, and funk. Over the years, they’ve built a reputation for high-energy performances and genre-blending grooves that resonate beyond the Crescent City.
