About the Artist
Embodying the vibrant Chicago music culture, LowDown Brass Band is a one-of-a-kind horn ensemble weaving the rhythm of the streets with conscious hip hop, reggae, and soul. Rigorously touring, LowDown has performed on the most unique stages from Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, Alaska’s Salmon Fest, Montreal Jazz Fest, and a five week 2025 EU/UK tour with Australia’s Cat Empire.
In the last four years, LowDown has stayed busy, releasing Three albums, "The Reel Sessions, LowDown Nights and $itizens of the World”, which showcase their unique sound and further push the boundaries of their genre. Leaning on their talent and unconventional style, LowDown Brass Band continues to carve out a path, defying convention and charting their own course in the ever-evolving landscape of music.
This show is produced in partnership with Rock Island Parks & Recreation to kick off the Thursday Night Groove Series.
