Funky, horn-driven contemporary brass band in the New Orleans tradition of Phatt Tuesdays.
Boss Street Brass Band plays The Elephant Room on Tuesday, September 8, at 9 PM. They're an Austin ensemble, and they're a horn-driven one—the brass is the whole point here, not just a layer on top. They describe their sound as funky and contemporary, rooted in the New Orleans tradition of 'Phatt' Tuesdays, so you've got that second-line energy meeting a more modern, groove-heavy approach.
If that New Orleans reference sounds familiar, it's because they've made it a regular thing. They play the city every month on second Tuesdays, and this is their September date. It's a good way to keep track of them: if you're in the mood for a brass band, you know where they'll be and when. This one falls on a Tuesday, right in the middle of the week, which fits the 'Phatt Tuesday' lineage they draw from.

The Elephant Room is downtown at 315 Congress Avenue, so it's an easy spot to get to if you're already in the center of things. The music starts at 9 PM, which puts it on the later side for a Tuesday night, but that's when the room usually finds its stride. The lineup is just the band, with the horns taking center stage.
