Brass Band Lineup

EAST BAY BRASS BAND
East Bay Brass Band is a SF Bay Area, New Orleans-style brass band that specializes in mash-ups of popular artists from Jelly Roll Morton to AC/DC to Raymond Scott to Paula Abdul to Shostakovich to R.E.M.

JUNKADELIC BRASS BAND
Junkadelic are going to share their unique and eclectic sweet melodic sound, which is a blend of street rhythms, Jazz – New Orleans style, funk grooves, hip-hop, dashed with a Latin flavour and infused with a 1960s, 1970s influence.

SAMBAMORE
Samba + love = SambAmore. That’s the derivation of the name for Arcata’s drum/dance/music ensemble, a 10- to 25-piece outfit that came out of the even larger Brazil/Mardi Gras-inspired Samba da Alegria that plays at the North Country Fair. Jesse Jonathan founded the group around five years ago starting with samba and drawing on influences beyond, including Afro-Cuban, African and Middle Eastern rhythms and music.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENCROACHMENT
Performance art group Environmental Encroachment is a costumed marching band with multi-media stage performance antics, including dancers, hooping, juggling and skits and has performed at Lollapalooza, Burning Man and the Chicago World Music Festival.
