Save the date for OB&E

Hailing from Yellow Springs, Ohio Brass & Electric is an 11-piece horn band covering a wide variety of artists, songs, and genres. With members ranging from talented and classically-trained musicians to, well, a drummer, OB&E is on a mission to add horn-band joy to southwestern Ohio.

The band's official debut will be Friday, October 12 - venue TBA. Find out more at https://www.facebook.com/OhioBrassAndElectric

We're starting with the rich history of Funk in the Dayton area, which combines naturally with The Funk Brothers who powered Motown, then we're adding genre-crossing songs we love to create a mix of tunes that are catchy, danceable, and/or put a smile on your face!

Made up of former members of Red Idle and The UnderCovered with horns from the Yellow Springs Community Band, Ohio Brass & Electric are building a repertoire from the horn band hits of the 70's and 80's along with fun and funky music from every decade.
