There are not enough stars to give Naptown.
From the communication, professionalism, timeliness, funkyness, and so much more, you should kick yourself if you don’t hire this band!

So FUN!!!!
NapTown Brass Band came in playing and everyone’s faces lit up.
It’s music you can’t help but enjoy and start moving, tapping your feet and dancing. This was for a fundraiser/birthday celebration/client event all wrapped up in one. They nailed it.
I’ve had so many calls thanking me and saying it was our best event yet. They walked around to get everyone involved… outstanding job. If you are looking for a crowd pleaser for all ages – you found them.

These Guys Are AWESOME!
We surprised the bride and groom with their own second line parade compliments of the Naptown Brass Band.
They are great musicians with a ton of energy and love for what they do. The only comment we heard more than how amazing the band was, was how beautiful the bride was!
Whether you hire them to perform at your event or you go to one of their shows, you HAVE to experience the Naptown Brass Band.

Great addition to any event!
We have used the Naptown Brass Band for many events for our organization. The group is great party starters. This most recent time we have them preform for a retirement party.
Their energy was the perfect addition to a farewell toast. Highly recommend and will use a much as possible in the future.

Who Dat Rocked the House !
Naptown Brass Band was everything I hoped for and more! On time, professional and pleasant. They hit the stage right on cue, were flexible with music requests, and then led the first Second Line to ‘Saints” ever in our synagogue’s 170 year history.
A great time! Look forward to our next event together!

The Naptown Brass Band was Incredible!!! People are still texting & emailing me how amazing they were.
I want to have another party, just to have them come back and play!!!

Best Part of Our Wedding!
When my husband and I started planning our wedding, one of the first things we knew we wanted was Naptown Brass Band to come perform!
My first experience with Naptown Brass Band was at a music festival a few years ago, and since then, I have made every effort to find when they are performing and attend. They bring so much life, energy, and fun to each performance and our wedding second line was no different! It was a very chilly day, and they were flexible with us and led us on a quick march outside and finished their performance on the deck.
It was the perfect start to our cocktail hour and gave great energy to lead into our reception. Their enthusiasm and fun is contagious…there is absolutely no way to not have a great time when they are there! Our guests kept talking about how great they were for the rest of the evening.
We love Naptown Brass Band and were so happy to have them there for our wedding.
Thank you!!

Most incredible performance of a lifetime.
We had a large outdoor wedding, and had many months in advance hired Naptown Brass band after hearing them play in Adams Morgan’s DC a few years before.
They absolutely knocked it out of the park. I, the groom, marched into the tent with the whole band playing behind me, to the total surprise of our guests. I heard the term”best wedding ever” many times since that night.
I cannot imagine not booking this fantastic band.
Chris K.
Don’t think twice!!
These guys turned a simple birthday party into a day that my wife and all of her friends will never forget! My only regret is not booking them for the whole day!
I can’t wait to book them again.

Private Event
We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.

Zac was the perfect choice for our event. He played some songs from our play list and then others that he chose, and all were just right! He created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a great time.
