Brass-A-Holics
Since 2010, the Brass-a-Holics have been taking their unique sound around the world. Steeped into the deep musical culture of New Orleans, the band brings a heavy dose of go-go funk to the New Orleans brass sound. In a blending of musical cultures stemming from cities separated by more than a thousand miles, a Brass-a-Holics live show takes the New Orleans brass band culture and infuses it with the electricity of Washington D.C.’s go-go. The resulting sound is both captivating and unique. The band consists of core New Orleans brass elements- trumpet, trombone, saxophone- and adds a full drum set, percussion, keyboard, bass and electric guitar, giving the band limitless options to explore new sonic territory. Whether performing their original music or using the framework of hit pop songs as springboards for fiery improvisations, there is something in the set to appeal to every music fan. Once the music starts, the demographics blend, and a brand-new experience is created- one that leaves one-of-a-kind memories that live on long after the last note.

Joshua Starkman
Joshua Starkman is a dynamic performer, and perhaps most notably, the founder and face of the “Have a Great Day!” social media phenom. A Florida native who has called New Orleans home for the past decade, Josh spent many years collaborating with musicians across all walks and talents on the stage and in the studio. A chance foray into filming his guitar playing turned into a wildly popular, and nationally-lauded, series featuring Josh’s effervescent energy while hosting a variety of musical (and sometimes non-musical!) entertainers for unique duets, skits, and interviews.
