Blue Tongue Brass Band
Based in Sydney
About this act
Blue Tongue Brass Band adapts the New Orleans marching-band idea for a Sydney ensemble. Its full group combines horns, sousaphone and two marching percussionists, with smaller versions available. Arrangements range from jazz and soul to contemporary pop, giving familiar songs an acoustic brass sound that can travel through an event.
