Weapons of Brass Destruction | Music on the Patio

About this event

Weapons of Brass Destruction Being a river town with an outsized musical scene, you might think Eau Claire is practically a northern version of “N’Awlins”. So where are all the Brass Bands? In Spring 2014, trombonist Tom Carlson set out to rectify the situation by starting this band with some cream-of-the-crop horn and percussion players. Our musical roots are definitely from the Crescent City, but don’t look for run-of-the-mill dixieland here; funky R&B, afro, and mambo grooves feature prominently in our repertoire. Think Dirty Dozen, Trombone Shorty, Rebirth, and Youngblood.
