present a live concert featuring the
TBC Brass Band
on Friday, 11/4 at 5:00 pm
Join us for an evening concert in our French Quarter courtyard!
The TBC Brass Band was formed in 2002 by young men who grew up in the 7th and 9th Wards in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band started at Carver and Kennedy Senior High School in New Orleans. TBC started with no manager and no guaranteed gigs so the band played on the streets of New Orleans, establishing a presence on the corner of the legendary Bourbon and Canal Streets in the French Quarter. The band quickly became popular, and hordes of fans spontaneously surrounded the band and danced around the band's regular street corner. As explanation for the band members' support and love for another, the band's trumpet player succinctly states "We sometimes say, we're all we got. Well, we're all we got."
Bring your dancing shoes and enjoyed this uniquely New Orleans sound!
The program is free and open to the public.
The performance will be held in the courtyard at the National Park Service French Quarter visitor center - 419 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA.
