Brasscals! is a lively group made up of 13+ members, ages 21 to 87, from the Santa Barbara community. The band boasts a wide roster of talent – including woodwinds, brass, a banjo, a washboard, and one bull horn. United by a shared love of music, Brasscals’ diverse, multigenerational membership is what makes this band so special. Brasscals! play while on the move, have minimal set-up, and don’t need electricity.
