New Creations Brass Band

We’re New Creations Brass Band! We’re from all parts of New Orleans brought together by the love of making great new music. We’ve studied, played with, and lived around several greats like Shannon Powell, Shamarr Allen, Trombone Shorty, and worked with several other active Brass Bands in New Orleans.

We believe every event that we play for is a special experience for everyone who’s listening and engaging in the music. There’s nothing like being able to look back on fun, memorable moments, and what better way to bring them about but with a live Brass Band!

We also want to continue the New Orleans Brass Band Tradition and offer teaching services, where we will come speak to groups of all ages and show them a little bit about what we do.

We’re all passionate individuals that want the people around us to have a good time, so we hope we get to meet y’all soon and make some music!
