We are a high energy 12-piece brass band playing original music to get you up on your feet. With explosive rhythms, soaring melodies, and playful interchanges between musicians, this is the anti-marching band we would have wanted to invade the field with in high school but never got the chance to.

Bedlam Brass is part music and part performance art. We incorporate theatrical choreography and a sly sense of humor in our performances to engage with and delight our audiences. For Bedlam Brass-hosted events, we prepare bills that represent Baltimore’s diversity of musicians and musical genres, with a focus on including female-identifying and queer performers.

What to Expect

We play original music and bring delightful, surprising antics. We play on the floor surrounded by our audience, allowing you to get up close and personal while dancing your socks off.
