Brass Queens

After debuting in March 2019, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the New York City local music scene and was dubbed "the hardest working band in town" by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. Now, a core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians.The band has developed a signature style that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. The result is a nonstop party: a Brass Queens show will have you singing along to classic pop hits, dancing your heart out to reggaeton and feeling like you've been transported to Frenchman Street.In February 2021, Brass Queens released their debut EP, "Royal Street," which takes listeners on a six-song journey beginning in the heart of New York City with a cover of Cameo’s “Candy,” down to Royal St. with their take on a New Orleans traditional, “Little Liza Jane.” In November 2023, the band released their first full-length album, "Black & Gold," which is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who supported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced street corners during the COVID-19 pandemic, to the crowded clubs and packed venues of today. Less than a year later, Brass Queens released their second full-length album, and their first album of all-original music titled "Hot Tub Sessions Vol. I."
