Dirty Water Brass Band, a Boston-based street band, now in its 15th year of being a staunch contributor to the many grooves that make this town tick. Our movable block party style is eclectic, with a mix of second line, soul, R&B, motown, rock, jazz and more.

Dirty Water has a particular penchant for playing outdoors, no matter the weather. Being unplugged and mobile, gives us the flexibility to jump into many local parades and participate in many annual outdoor events. We are particularly interested in supporting causes that help make the world a better place. Dirty Water has grown from initially 5 members to as many as 11. And we absolutely do NOT “have to be in by twelve o’clock!”
