Description
The New Orleans nightcrawlers were founded by Matt Perrine, Kevin Clark, and pianist Tom McDermott as a writers workshop for brass band music. After several monthly sessions, the band relocated to Craig Klein's home in Arabi, LA for weekly sessions. Several musicians have come and gone but the current lineup has been consistent for decades.
Matt Perrine, Craig Klein, Kevin Clark, Barney Floyd, Jason Mingledorff, Brent Rose, Miles Lyons, Cayetano Hingle and Kerry Hunter make up the current lineup.
“On Too Much to Hold, The New Orleans Nightcrawlers continue to excite with its polished yet simultaneously rowdy approach.” - OffBeat Magazine “..their intoxicating combination of traditional jazz, modern funk, and a booty-shaking, hanky-waving rhythmic base that would set even the most rhythmically impaired among us to stomping.” - Replay “We need the Nightcrawlers to ensure that the quality of brass band music remains high and to lead the next generation of players by example.” - Louisiana Weekly
Two years ago the New Orleans Nightcrawlers, received a shot of adrenaline no one could have expected when their album Atmosphere was announced as winner of the GRAMMY® for Best Regional Roots Album. This year, after two of their most fertile years in decades, they were once again excited to have their latest album Too Much to Hold be on the final Grammy ballot in that same category.
