We are Brasscals!, Santa Barbara’s one-and-only street brass band; a lively group made up of 13+ members, ages 19 to 87, from the Santa Barbara community. The band boasts a wide roster of talent – including woodwinds, brass, a banjo, a washboard, and one bull horn. Our unique sound gets any crowd moving with an explosion of acoustic joy that spans a variety of genres, from funk and jazz to Klezmer, Balkan, pop, Middle Eastern and Latin as well as some originals.

United by a shared love of music, Brasscals’ diverse, multigenerational membership is what makes this band so special. We are a very portable and low maintenance band; we can play while on the move, have minimal set-up, and don’t need electricity. Our high-energy shows encourage crowd participation to increase the fun factor and break down the barrier between “performer” and “audience”.
