Services
DB (aka Bryan) and Russell had played across the country and opened for acts such as Queen Latifah, Phish, Fishbone, and the Beastie Boys.
But one of Russell's co-workers was getting married, and Russell happened to have a book of quintet music from college.
From there, they had a few rehearsals, bought a bunch of music, and the Occasional Brass Quintet was born.
Wanting to keep a good balance between their classical training at UMass and their love of all things funk/rock, they set out to create something that transcended traditional brass quintets.

We know it's hard to choose the right ensemble and the right music for your wedding or event.
To help you out, we've put together some thoughts on the different types of music, various settings, and the size and sound of brass ensembles, string groups, and woodwinds.
A brass, string, or woodwind ensemble is the perfect addition to an outdoor wedding - what you need to know.
Recreate the scene from Love Actually, or come up with your own idea, and we'll make it happen.
