Our story

Born from 30 years
of stage experience

Founded in Cincinnati in 2013, Brass Tracks Band grew out of "Second Shift" — a group that had entertained crowds for over three decades. By adding a world-class brass trio led by internationally acclaimed saxophonist Hal Melia, something entirely new was born.

The show opens and closes with Chicago's greatest hits. In between, audiences experience the top songs of every legendary horn band ever recorded — performed live with the full force of a professional brass section. High-energy. All-ages. Dance floor guaranteed.

"Get up off your brASS and dance!"
