DESCRIPTION:
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.

Check us out and get in touch!

    CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

    We had an excellent experience with this band! They played a great variety of music that every generation could enjoy and they had people up dancing! They were incredibly accomodating and made the evening very special for us. We were so happy that they were part of our wedding.

    brass menagerie was the hit of my wedding! The variety of songs satisfied just about every guest, and everyone commented on the quality of their playing. The M.C. made the bouquet/garter toss and grand march hilarious, and they were even able to accomodate to some of my guests polka requests!
