About

Welcome to Big Shoulders Brass Band online!

Formed in 1999, we are one of the longest running brass bands in Chicago. Featuring both original charts and New Orleans horn-heavy standards, we mix the traditional dixieland aesthetic with that infectious New Orleans second-line groove you love to dance your booty to. We’ll parade you, serenade you, right on through to Mardi Gras. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

B.S. Brass is:
Joe Clark, trumpet
Millie Ahearn, trumpet
Airan Wright, tenor sax
Tim Koelling, bari sax
Dan “Fuzzbone” Sniderman, trombone
Mike Hogg, sousaphone
Quin Kirchner, snare
Andrew Green, bass drum
