RED & BLACK BRASS BAND: The Red and Black Brass Band was created in April of 2020 after Ben Kosberg and Dominique Burton took to the street to cheer up the neighborhood. 2.5 million Twitter views later, the band was formed. A dream that had been fueled and talked about for years by the 8 members of this creative ensemble became real and R&BBB has been on the upswing ever since. Born out of a pandemic, the goal was what it will always remain; to bring love and joy through the spirit of music and to help us all remember that we still have much to be grateful for.
The Red and Black Brass Band quickly became highly recognized by many in the great city of St. Louis, MO and were always met with smiles, dancing feet, and tears of joy. The band, ever busy, performs big stage shows to corporate events to backyard parties. The blend of powerful horns and smooth singing with an array of music genres over a New Orleans Second line beat sets this band apart from many as they pay homage to the music so deeply embedded for most of its members, since birth. “We just want to have some fun and make the people feel good. We’re available for any occasion. Come and party with the Red and Black.
JIM MANLEY: Jim Manley, a renowned figure in the St. Louis music scene has made a significant impact as a trumpeter, composer, and recording artist and performances since the late 1970s, Manley's dedication to his craft is evident. His ability to make the trumpet "soar, pop, sizzle, and purr" has not only earned him critical acclaim but also the admiration of listeners worldwide. As a bandleader, his leadership and musical selections consistently bring high-quality performances to the stage. Manley's influence extends beyond live performances, with his numerous recordings as a leader and YouTube clips reaching an international audience. His passion for music and the trumpet shines through in every endeavor and performance.
ARVELL & COMPANY: Arvell is a singer, percussionist, recording artist and above all else, a consummate entertainer. He has been involved in the music industry for over 30+ years and has had the privilege of working with many talented artists enabling him to fine-tune his craft of musical entertainment to the highest caliber.
