Events Calendar

Hot Brass is an energetic and multi-talented group of musicians performing
billboard and popular music hits, new and old. A subset of the United
States Air Force Band of Mid-America, Hot Brass engages audiences through
the Midwest in contemporary music tailored to meet the desires of the wide-
range of listeners we serve. 
Hot Brass thrives on diversity and creates a musical gumbo of genres to
exploit each musician’s musical background. This ten-piece group utilizes
vocals, drums, and guitar to entice audiences to move their feet while also
paying tribute to our brass roots: powerful delivery of popular music with
a heavy emphasis on horns and brass. However, when the performing
environment demands different styles or mobility, Hot Brass easily breaks
down into a small pop combo and a brass quintet. The ensemble’s unique
blend of music also includes patriotic selections for special occasions
Hot Brass serves as musical ambassadors for the Air Force in free civic
outreach concerts to people of all ages throughout Arkansas, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee and
Wisconsin.
