Lowdown Brass Band

**Lowdown Brass Band** is a Chicago-based collective serving up a fiery mix of New Orleans brass tradition, hip-hop swagger, and street-party funk. Formed in the mid-2000s, this eight-piece powerhouse packs trumpets, trombones, saxes, and a heavy-hitting rhythm section, earning a rep for electrifying live shows that turn sidewalks into dance floors. Their music nods to Mardi Gras grooves while weaving in sharp social commentary and nods to Windy City grit. Recent tracks like 2023’s *Lowdown Nights* EP and the dancy *Betty Bop* showcase their genre-blurring vibe, and collaborations like the *Red Lines* remix (featuring OK Go’s Dan Konopka) highlight their knack for bridging brass roots with modern beats. Whether they’re dropping horn-heavy anthems or rallying crowds at festivals, Lowdown keeps it raw, rowdy, and relentlessly groovesome.
