Hope & District Arts Council presents Concerts In the Park 2024

A free concert series!

Our first show of the season features Cookin' With Brass, a high octane band that supercharges Top 40 Pop songs with their universal party groove.  This Funky Brass Band will turn any event into a family friendly New Orleans street party. Cookin' With Brass has a repertoire that spans from early Motown songs like I Want You Back by The Jackson 5 to Flowers by Miley Cyrus and other Top 40 hits plus New Orleans Brass Band favourites.

Known for their heart pounding energy, this adrenaline-charged band features an innovative blend of traditional New Orleans brass sounds, R&B, Blues, Funk, Jazz, Hip-Hop beats, Rock and Pop. Their genre-bending performances unleash brassy Funk and Street Beat rhythms that move people.  Cookin' With Brass’ mission is to spread joy and a sense of community through Funky brassy music.  The signature finale of every concert breaks the barrier between musicians and audience with a boisterous interactive 2nd line parade through the crowd. Every performance of Cookin' With Brass is a shared experience of all people harmoniously celebrating together.  

Cookin' With Brass has performed at such major festivals as The Harrison Festival of the Arts, SurreyFest, The Harmony Arts Festival, Hats Off Days, The Surrey Tree Lighting Festival and The Irish Fusion Festival. We have brought our Funky Brass sounds to many special events including The Vancouver Symphony Day of Music, The Whiskey Smoke at Hastings Racecourse, Granville Block Party, Main Street Car Free Day and Sounds of Summer in Surrey.
