Brass Menagerie is a ten-piece stage band from Minneapolis/St. Paul. We feature a sizzling horn section with great vocals and generations of memorable music - everything from the hot swing beats of the 40's & 50's, to the early years of rock & roll, plus a large assortment of tunes from the 70's, 80's & 90's thru today.

We also feature great band tributes such as the Beatles, Chicago & the legendary Motown Sound - even some great Sinatra/Tom Jones type show-tunes. Our audiences always have fun and you can customize the playlist however you wish for weddings, themes and parties.

If you're planning an event and want it to be memorable, Brass Menagerie can help you put it all together. Since 1993 we've entertained the Twin Cities and surrounding region with concerts, dances, community events and special performances of all kinds.
