“Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to,” says The New York Times, “but it’s more like a party than a machine. It’s a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what they’re doing, anyone can cut loose.”

Their signature brand of heavy funk has placed them among the world's top brass bands and they are the hands-down favorite among the younger generation. After two sold out shows on StageOne in 2012, RBB brings the French Quarter to The Warehouse this December.

The Roots of Music, founded by Derrick Tabb of the Rebirth Brass Band along with Allison Reinhardt, fills a void in music education programs in New Orleans Schools.  Marching bands were once an integral part of New Orleans middle schools, but many schools discontinued their music programs for this age group after Katrina. Today, the Roots of Music serves over 100 students, making up a full marching band that has successfully paraded the city since Mardi Gras 2009.

The Roots program provides music history and theory, instrumental instruction and ensemble performance preparation, as well as academic tutoring, mentoring and homework assistance. The Roots of Music serves kids ages 9-14 from low-income households — and to reduce common barriers to participation, they also provide students with round-trip transportation and a hot meal 5 days a week, 12 months a year. Participation in the Roots of Music is free for all students.  Here’s a recent article to learn more: With patience and discipline, Rebirth's Derrick Tabb teaches kids to play
