Big Boy Brass got their start playing on the street corners of Lancaster PA in the fall of 2016. Soon after, they performed at various venues in and around the city doing public shows, weddings, private events, just about anything. Big Boy Brass plays a wide variety of music so they can play any event and fit any vibe.

“WHETHER YOU’VE SEEN THEM OR HEARD THEM COMING DOWN THE STREET, BIG BOY BRASS IS ONE OF THE CITY’S MOST JOYOUS LIVE ACTS, AND HEARING THEM ON THE ROOF WITH A COCKTAIL IN HAND IS ONE OF THE SUMMER’S GREATEST JOYS AROUND THESE PARTS.”

Big Boy Brass has played shows in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia. Some notable performances include opening up for Rebirth Brass Band and Lucky Chops, playing at Exit Zero Jazz Fest, and Lancaster’s own Roots and Blues Fest. They have a studio album “Breaking the Busker’s Code” which they released in 2019, and they put out their “Holiday Sessions Vol. I” EP (2020) featuring talented vocalists.
