"I will admit that I was not really sure what to expect with a band this big but all my dreams came true. I had an audience ages 2-92 and a good time was had by all. Lots of dancing was going on too. I have not seen a group of talented musicians like this in forever! Truly magnificant. Brass from the Past had four different singers which made the show surprising and so exciting! I would definitely hire this group again. "

"After hearing Brass from the Past on Gigmasters, I was sold. When they arrived at our event they were nothing short of proffessional and their vocals were second to none. VERY GOOD band. The horn section was great! Very impressed with "think" by Aretha and tunes from Chicago and Stevie Wonder. Just a great any event band!!! I would highly recomend."
