The Band
Delta Brass Express started in 2010 as a result of a group of friends wanting to play a mix of jazz and classic rock. This Arkansas based band features a trumpet, sax, and trombone horn line, a four piece rhythm section, and lead a vocalist. Delta Brass Express specializes in 60s, 70s and 80s rock and roll as well as smooth jazz standards. Whether you are looking for a full eight piece band or a 4-5 piece combo, we are ready to perform at your next event.
