Boss Street Brass Band

Boss Street Brass Band is back at The Elephant Room on Saturday, August 1, starting at 9 PM. They're an Austin-based contemporary ensemble, and the horns are the whole point here—they're a brass band in the New Orleans tradition, so you can expect a horn-heavy sound that's meant to get people moving.

That New Orleans connection isn't just a general vibe; they specifically cite the tradition of 'Phatt' Tuesdays, the kind of brass-driven, danceable energy that comes out of the Crescent City. It's a style that's built for a room like The Elephant Room, where the music is the main event and the brass section takes center stage. If you've never seen them, they're a funky, horn-driven group that keeps the New Orleans spirit alive right here in Austin.

One thing that sets them apart is how often they play. They're a regular fixture at The Elephant Room, playing every month on the second Tuesday, so this Saturday night set is part of a larger presence in the city rather than a one-off. If you've caught them on a Tuesday before, you know the drill: a brass band that leans into the groove and keeps the horns front and center.

It's a late start, so it's more of a nightcap than a dinner-and-a-show kind of thing. The Boss Street Brass Band takes the stage at 9 PM at The Elephant Room on Saturday, August 1.
