Dirty Dozen Brass Band – Raw Brass, Deep Groove & New Orleans Fire

August 14 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

On August 14, 2025, De La Luz welcomes the legendary Dirty Dozen Brass Band for a night of genre-smashing brilliance straight outta New Orleans.

Blending traditional brass band roots with bebop, funk, R&B, and soul, this GRAMMY-winning crew has been redefining what a horn section can do since 1977. With over four decades of global touring and collaborations that span everyone from Modest Mouse to Norah Jones, these cats are a force of nature—equal parts celebration and revolution.

Expect syncopated second-line swagger, blistering solos, and grooves that’ll have you dancing in the aisles. This isn’t just a concert—it’s a party with purpose, powered by history and driven by the future of Black American music.
