For nearly 13 years, Broken Brass has been igniting stages with an unparalleled energy through their explosive mix of Funk, Afrobeat, and New Orleans Jazz. What started as a fresh, quirky brass band in Friesland has grown into one of the most thrilling live acts in Europe. With their unique blend of tight horns, grooving percussion, and a funky rhythm section, the band has played over 700 shows in 16 different countries. They’ve lit up festivals such as Zwarte Cross, North Sea Jazz, Oerol, Eurosonic, Greenman Festival (UK), Secret Garden Party (UK), and Kendal Calling (UK). Other highlights include Paaspop, Festival Mundial, MadNes, Fusion Festival (DE), and VH1 Festival (IN).

From being dubbed “the unintended headliner of Into the Great Wide Open” (Volkskrant), to various TV appearances (DWDD, Talkshow M, Toppop) and airplay on (inter)national radio (NPO2 Muziekcafé, Sublime, 3FM, BBC6), Broken Brass has continued to evolve while staying rooted in the infectious, funky, feel-good vibe they are known for. Whether it’s an intimate club show, playing in the middle of a crowd, or on a massive festival stage, their performances are pure energy bombs.
