ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

The Gabriel Brass Band is a Detroit-based band that continues the musical tradition of the Gabriel family, who brought New Orleans jazz to Detroit in the 1940s. The current band leader, Dameon Gabriel, can trace his musical lineage back at least six generations. This ensemble promises to get toes tapping and audiences grooving with their up-tempo traditional jazz with funk and hip-hop.
