We are a 15 piece brass band out of the greater Somerville area who enjoys playing interesting and approachable music.
Born of the local HONK scene we focus on bringing live horn harmonies to the people.
Our tastes are eclectic, performing everything from second-line inspired jazz to upbeat rock. The main theme is: “does this make us feel good and would it delight others?”
Will Perform : Yes we can do the rain date
Size: 7+ performers
Hi Fly By Brass Band,
I just booked you for Arlington Porchfest for the Fox Library, In addition to participating in Porchfest, we will be celebrating the completion of a community-generated public art project — a temporary mural consisting of 1,000 handpainted herring fish on the Fox Library. The fish have been painted by people of all ages at free workshops around town — in fact, if any of you in the band want to join in, we have several scheduled in May. Info at: http://www.ArtsArlington.org/go-fish
Adding to my earlier message, the mural, titled Go Fish, is a celebration of the annual herring migration of herring up the Mystic River, and of the restoration of their populations thanks to conservation efforts by government, nonprofits, and community volunteers.
With apologies, Cecily — we are actually self-hosting, and I’m just waiting for my bandmate to link our band with her porch. We’ll have to decline this booking. I’m sure you’ll find someone great for your event!
