TOMS RIVER, N.J. — The dynamic, female-led brass band Brass Queens, described by peers as the hardest working band in town, will take the Main Stage at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College on Saturday, March 28, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $24.
Hailing from Brooklyn, Brass Queens features a distinctive sound inspired by the New Orleans tradition while injecting the upbeat, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. Their performances transform each venue into a nonstop celebration, keeping audiences singing and dancing along.
Co-founded by Alex Harris and Ally Chapel, Brass Queens debuted in 2019, showcasing the talents of female musicians and increasing their visibility in a male-dominated brass band landscape. The group gained a dedicated following through street performances and pop-up events during the pandemic and now tours regularly across the country and internationally, appearing at major festivals and iconic venues and even performing on national television.
Tickets are $24 and can be purchased online at grunincenter.org or by calling the Grunin Center Box Office at 732-255-0500.
