The UNiTY Street Band provides an open opportunity to musicians at any level where participants can practice active citizenship through their artistry.

Our mission is to put UNiTY in CommUNiTY through the joy of music. Ultimately, we use music to bring people together, to inspire positivity, and to create an all-inclusive environment with a shared love for playing music for others.

UNiTY Street Band was born January of 2017 from the Second Line Syracuse movement, in collaboration with former members of sister activist bands around the country who now live in Syracuse, including the Extraordinary Rendition Band from Providence, RI and the Brass Liberation Orchestra based in San Francisco.
