Concert Review

NO BS Brass Band Throws Down at Cat’s Cradle Back Room

Post author By WKNC Admin
Post date October 27, 2015

True to form, NO BS Brass Band threw down at the Cat’s Cradle Back Room in Carrboro, NC last Friday night. In front of a solid but very green NC jazz crowd, NO BS introduced the Cat’s Cradle musicgoers to their very vibrant and dynamic brand of Richmond, VA brass music. Their music serves as a powerful combination of Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, and New Orleans brass band mixed with a little bit of dynamite and salt in the wound to make you scream WOOHOO and dance around till your feet fall off.

NO BS Brass Band

I absolutely love this band and am excited to see them making big moves in the past twelve months to finally making it on the national stage. After a huge northeastern and midwest tour, NO BS finally returns to the mid-atlantic in order to prepare for their next album release, Brass Knuckles, on Novemeber 20th. Stay tuned for more on that!
