The What Cheer? Brigade is a 19‐piece brass band from Providence, RI, USA. Their sound is an aggressive mix of Bollywood, The Balkans, New Orleans, Samba and Hip‐Hop, played with intensity of metal. Requiring no amplification, they prove that parties need no electricity. Their live shows defy boundaries, appealing equally to punks and farmers, old and young.
Venues: In 2011, What Cheer? has performed at Portland Maine’s Space Gallery Block Party, in Times Square on the eve of Hurricane Irene, the Newport Folk Festival, Superball IX, Honk Texas, Mardi Gras in New Orleans and so much more!
