Biography

Fat Brass Inc. is a dynamic 8-piece horn-band made up of members from Green Bay to the Fox Valley to Manitowoc. These 8 members bring a wealth of professional performance experience to the stage for every gig. Their sound is big and their energy is infectious, often causing audience members the undeniable urge to get their “groove” on and shake it on the dance floor until the night ends or music stops (whichever comes first). Using a wide ranging repertoire that includes genres from Funk, Rock, Fusion, Jazz, Soul and R&B, Fat Brass combines a 3 (sometimes 4) piece horn section with a tight rhythm section and smooth vocals to form a groove-a-licious time that is had by all!

Their laid back stage presence has Fat Brass realizing just how much fun it is to make music together and their performances are too compelling to be ignored. “We tried to put together a band that would have fun in any performance situation” says bandleader Chris Andersen. Quipped drummer Tony Giovannini, “We don’t take ourselves too seriously and that translates into a relaxed feeling within the band allowing everyone to play at a high level. There’s a ton of ability in this band and we feel that the sky’s the limit when we get together”!

Fat Brass knows that people just want to have a good time. Have a cocktail, do a little dancing and, yes, sing along to some great tunes! “Best horn-band in the area”, “You guys are a fun band to listen to”, “What’s the guitar players phone number”, “You have a great sound” and “Where and when are you playing next” are just some of the many comments that the band receives every time they play.

So if you want a fun time kicking back and listening to some cats that can groove til the cows come home then Fat Brass is for you…a quality musical experience you won’t be disappointed with. And if you are disappointed…well…then we will give you a rebate in the form of Chris’ pickup truck or perhaps 300 feet of vinyl siding!
