BYOBrass is a group of UNI alums who have continued to perform and tour together since 2017. Even though many of their venues haven’t ever hosted a nearly-all wind instrument ensemble before, they’ve amassed a devoted following wherever they play with their high-energy mix of originals, pop covers, and jazz charts.
BYOBrass opens the 2024 season of Jazz Under the Stars Aug. 1 at Noelridge Park in Cedar Rapids. Opening will be the Sam Ross Quintet.
Follow BYOBrass on Instagram, hear their music on most streaming services, and at byobrasss.com.
