Testimonials

There is no price you can place on memories like these. Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the LTBB was. They truly brought such joy to the atmosphere and everyone was so ready to celebrate! That is exactly what I envisioned. It was beyond words.

—Stephanie H., Long Island, New York

I’m so glad we booked the L Train Brass Band for our Mardi Gras-themed event. Prior to the event, they were very responsive and receptive to our asks. On the day of the event, band members showed up early/on-time. Once the band started performing, everyone was blown away; they sounded spectacular! They played for the duration of our event (about 2 hours), which was perfect. A bonus is that they have such a positive mission.

—Lindsey Brutus, Etsy

Fun and energetic, this rambunctious bunch of brass instrumentalists included a bevy of saxophone players, trumpeters, drummers, and even a tuba player! Exuding cool vibes, charisma, and colorful clothes, The L Train Brass Band certainly knew how to get the party started right.

—Music & Mojitos

The musicians of the L Train Brass Band gave the most amazing performance for the residents of Bushwick. It is the goal of my office to bring the community together and make sure that we have done everything possible to make residents' lives that much happier during the holiday season. Thanks to the L train Brass Band, we brought some joy to families who are facing financial hardship and their contribution has allowed the residents to reconnect with their community.

—Council Member Rafael L Espinal, 37th Council District-Kings
