Testimonials

  • "They're an instrumental jukebox on steroids!

    Working with Brass Monkeys has been nothing less than a joy for us and our clientele. They bring the party and I would highly recommend them for any event. I almost didn’t want to write this review in fear that other people would use them and they couldn’t do events with us.....in closing, we love these guys!”

    — Jack Maer/Owner-Double

  • "Great band, great guys!

    Can’t say enough good things about this band. Excellent communication, catered to our playlist (and learned a song for our party), showed up early - and most importantly - they sounded phenomenal. Our entire party was blown away by the performance. Great group of musicians - money well spent!”

    — Gregg Karafin | Private Party

  • "What. A. Night. 🤯

    The Brass Monkeys didn’t just play music at my 30th…they MADE the night. Hit after hit, nonstop energy, and the kind of vibe that had every single person on the dance floor. I’m still getting texts from friends saying how obsessed they were with the band. On top of being insanely talented, they were beyond accommodating and an absolute dream to work with. Truly the best decision I made for the party. Already planning to book them again because they’re that great!” — Sage | Private Party

  • "We love The Brass Monkeys!

    Working with Thomas and the band is always a dream. Great communication, on time & professional. From Mardi Gras to fundraisers, The Brass Monkeys are always a crowd pleaser and get the party started!”

  • "Best Brass Band in NYC Hands Down!!

    The Brass Monkeys were AMAZING!!! I cannot stress that enough. My husband and I wanted a 2nd line parade for our wedding and not only was communication prompt, cordial, and thorough, but they were on time, and really were the best part of our festivities. They made our entire party. It was so hot out but they played their hearts out as we danced up Harlem. Please don’t hesitate to book them!!” — Tamika | Second Line

  • "Great Job at my son's music-themed 4th birthday!

    Communication was clear and friendly, and they even learned how to play a song I requested that wasn't already part of their repertoire. They arrived exactly on time, and the kids and adults had a blast dancing to the music. They then led the kids in a march around the playground to When the Saints Go Marching In as the kids played along with instruments from the party. Everyone had an absolute blast, and I would definitely hire again and highly recommend that you do too!”
