Forbidden Brass

South Wayne Porchfest was a good porchfest! Good hosts, good crowd (REALLY good - people NEVER applaud for just our announcements 😮), and good folks who came out to hear us! It's probably annoying to hear our "thanks to..." aftermath, but really, we do appreciate you 🙏 'Til next year!

South Wayne Porchfest is tomorrow, Saturday, September 19th!! We can't wait to see you for our day of free music played on the porches of WaynePA

This coming Saturday will be our first time playing at South Wayne Porchfest so we used fancy high-powered computers to generate a realistic rendering of what it'll look like

Saturday 9/19, 4pm at 222 Windermere Ave in Wayne! Parking may be funky but there will be tons of great music so get there early and stay a spell :-) See you there!

We'll be at Dot # 32 at 4pm on Saturday, 9/19!

Is this the first time we've played Lincoln Woods so late in the season the sun-sensing lights have flipped on before we finished our set? 🤔 Audience was super, staying through the sunset and bugs to listen to us! 🎶 You rock 🪨

Did you have a good Labor Day weekend? Are you still recovering?? We had a blast playing at the Chestnut Hill Farmers' Market this past Saturday! Bit of an unconventional setup this week--there were neighborhood cars parked in the "no parking" zone, so curbside vendor space was tight, so we just set up a tent smack dab in the middle of everything 😆 We're grateful to the market for having us play, and to everyone who stopped to listen to us!

Our next public performance is in a couple weeks, Saturday 9/19 at South Wayne Porchfest ! We'll put out a reminder closer to the date, but mark your calendars now to come hear some great live music 4:00-4:45pm at 222 Windermere Ave in Wayne PA!

This is too good not to share immediately in its own post 🤩 The great Dana McGahey sketched us while we played at Chestnut Hill Farmers' Market this morning! (With "Apologies to Tom")

Regular photos to come later, sometime after we finish processing what a good time we just had 😊

After a rained-out concert last week ⛈️😢 we're looking forward to returning to Chestnut Hill Farmers' Market THIS COMING SATURDAY, September 5, 9-11am! Labor Day weekend! Corner of Mermaid Ln and Germantown Ave in Philly! SO FAR the weather is looking like it'll cooperate, but of course if we SAY anything overtly positive, it's GUARANTEED to rain, so we'll just keep our mouths shut and our fingers crossed and WE WILL SEE YOU THERE!

Coming soon! September 19, South Wayne Porchfest!

South Wayne Porchfest is proud to announce that Forbidden Brass will be performing their smile-inducing pop and jazz standards at South Wayne Porchfest on Saturday, September 19th.
