Music on Main: BrassRoots Movement

Portland Mardi Gras Ball 2018 with the Brass Roots Movement.

BrassRoots Movement is Portland’s premier New Orleans-inspired brass band, channeling the vibrant spirit and infectious energy of the Big Easy into the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 2010 by trumpeter Logan Thane Brown, the band has become a fixture of the local music scene, known for high-energy performances that get audiences on their feet.

With an authentic sound that blends funk, jazz, and classic New Orleans grooves, BrassRoots Movement has lit up stages at iconic events like the Waterfront Blues Festival, Music on Main, the Portland Mardi Gras Ball, McMenamins UFO Festival, Polka Dot Downtown Portland, and the Hult Center’s Party on the Plaza. Whether leading a jubilant second line parade, energizing a private celebration, or firing up a festival crowd, the band delivers unforgettable experiences that bring people together through the universal language of music and dance.
