The Bulletproof Brass Band is an 11-piece orchestra that specializes in creating great dance parties for weddings, fundraisers and other gala events. From straight-ahead jazz, to Big Band and Swing, Country, all the hits from the 50's to the 90's... We got 'em! Earth, Wind and Fire, Chicago, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Stevie Wonder are but a part of our extensive repertoire. Big Band tunes from Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble and Harry Connick, Jr. and, of course, all of the great country music always makes for a lively and grand event by pleasing everyone of all ages and keeping your guests at the party through the entire evening!

Their unique stage consists of an aggressive three piece brass section and a full auxiliary percussionist. With the experience of lead singers Rodney Johnson and Susan Cloud, your party is sure to be a smash hit. But don't be surprised when a saxophone solo gets performed right in front of you! All of our horns and both singers use cordless microphones which allow us to perform from anywhere at the party - and we do!

Thanks for looking us over! We can't wait to perform for you!!

A word about our (former) “Song List”…
We used to post a list of songs we “played” which, at its peak, reached some 300 plus tunes. The songs were even organized by genre which made going to a specific list easy and fast. However, the problem with a list of songs is that, IT GIVES YOU, OUR CLIENT, THE IMPRESSION THAT “THIS IS ALL THAT THEY KNOW” – which couldn’t be further from the truth. Please know that, at the request and direction of our current clients, we add new music for nearly ever event at which we perform – and we’re happy to do so. It’s simply part of the high level of customer service we provide for all of our clients.

With this in mind, please feel free to review our list of genres and artists of whose material we can professionally perform. If you have any questions at all about the music we offer, just give us a call. However, know in advance that the answer is going to be, “Yes, we can play that song.”

By the way, after booking the band, all of our clients start shaping the band into the one they want for their event by using our “Online Event Planner” which they access through our web-site. Think of it as your way of giving us your vision of how you want the party to unfold. Then, we’ll meet in person where we’ll learn even more about you and yours, which guarantees that the party will never be forgotten!
