About / Biography

Established in 2014, NEW STREAM BRASS BAND is Singapore’s first-ever New Orleans style brass band, delivering an electrifying blend of jazz, funk, Latin, and hip-hop with a distinctive local flavor. This dynamic ensemble is not just about music; it’s about creating an atmosphere of celebration and joy, perfectly suited for dancing and partying.

The band’s repertoire is diverse, ranging from classic New Orleans Jazz and standard jazz tunes to New Orleans Brass Band favorites, original compositions, and fresh takes on chart-topping hits by artists like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, and Bob Marley—all reimagined with a New Orleans twist.

Featuring a unique lineup of separate bass and snare drums, washboard, sousaphone as bass, and powerful lead horns—trumpet and trombone—New Stream Brass Band embodies the spirit of New Orleans’ iconic “Second Line” parades. With a strong presence at outdoor festivals and roving performances, their versatile style is ideal for any occasion, including seasonal events, weddings, corporate functions, and more. Bring the soul of New Orleans to your next event!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

If it’s a roving performance, there is no equipment we need you to prepare. (If we perform on stage, we may request microphones for the number of performers.)


What information do you require about a venue?

We may ask whether microphones can be provided for each performer as well as for the MC. Additionally, if we perform on stage, we may ask whether a drum set is available.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We will bring our own instruments. We do not provide lighting equipment.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, if needed, we can create Spotify playlists and play it between sets. In that case, the venue will need to provide the equipment to play the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

One of our standout experiences was performing at the Singapore Grand Prix, delivering high-energy roving sets within a world-class event. We’ve also performed at the Singapore International Jazz Festival, bringing our New Orleans–style street brass into a major music setting. In both, audiences didn’t just watch—they moved and celebrated with us.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love outdoor festivals and street-style events where we can move, interact, and engage the audience. That said, we also enjoy weddings and private events where we can create a lively, immersive atmosphere.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started with a shared passion for New Orleans brass culture, where music is part of every celebration—from weddings to street parades. We’ve since performed at festivals, corporate events, and private functions across the region, delivering a flexible, high-energy style on stage and as a roving, interactive experience.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We are strongly influenced by the New Orleans brass band tradition, drawing inspiration from Grammy-winning groups such as Rebirth Brass Band and Hot 8 Brass Band, as well as Trombone Shorty. Funk pioneers like The Meters have also shaped our approach to groove and rhythm. We admire musicians who bring high energy, strong identity, and a powerful connection with audiences in live performance. For us, the greatest song of all time is one that brings people together, and the globally recognised New Orleans classic “When the Saints Go Marching In” perfectly captures that spirit.


Does the band take song requests?

Yes, we’re happy to take song requests. We adapt songs into our New Orleans brass band style, and depending on the complexity or level of arrangement required, additional costs may apply.


What is your typical band size?

We are very flexible with our lineup. Most of our clients book us as a 5–7 piece brass band, depending on the scale and energy of the event. We can also perform as a smaller 4-piece lineup for more intimate indoor settings or where there are budget considerations.


Do you perform roaming sets, and do you have any technical requirements?

We are experienced in both stage performances and roaming/walking sets, creating interactive and high-energy experiences for audiences. For stage performances, we may require instrument microphones depending on the event size. For roaming sets, no technical setup is required.


Do you travel for performances?

Yes, we are available for bookings both locally and internationally. For overseas engagements, travel and accommodation arrangements would typically be covered by the client.


Can the band adapt their outfit to the event theme?

Yes, we can tailor our outfits to match the tone of your event—whether it’s formal, casual, or themed. Our standard look is inspired by traditional New Orleans Brass Band style, featuring red suspenders and straw hats. We’re happy to adjust our attire to fit your vision, and any additional costs will depend on the level of customisation required.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We typically recommend performance sets of around 30 minutes, or up to 45 minutes maximum, to maintain high energy and audience engagement. Setup time is minimal and depends on the performance format—roaming sets require no setup, while stage performances may require a short soundcheck if amplification is needed.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we’re happy to perform outdoors. Our brass band setup is well suited for open-air events and roaming performances. We just require basic considerations such as weather protection and a suitable performance space.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients are welcome to have input on what we play. We have a core repertoire suited to our New Orleans brass band style, but we’re happy to tailor the setlist to match the tone of your event. Song requests can also be accommodated where possible, with arrangements adapted into our style.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients often describe our performances as energetic, engaging, and full of character. They love the interactive, feel-good atmosphere we create, bringing a lively New Orleans street party vibe that gets people smiling, moving, and involved.
