The Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band is a 16-piece brass street band. While our roots are planted firmly in the fertile New Orleans brass band tradition, we consider the entire planet's worth of good music as a resource we can plunder for inspiration and material. In our band, diversity's the key.
We are a honk band; regular Joes and Janes with day jobs who combine music with progressive social action -- slamming out the sounds of the legendary Crescent City for peace rallies, street festivals, theater companies, parades, benefits, even funerals. Our motto: ''We aim to please if the cause is true and the time is right."
