Brassroots. An explosive 7 piece brass band founded by Jerome Harper, an American trombonist on a mission to establish a flourishing brass band scene in our nation’s capital.

Brassroots have set stages ablaze from Ronnie Scotts to Glastonbury, London Jazz Festival to Channel 4, Secret Garden Party to WOMAD UK & Canarias, where 40,000 people went nuts to Brassroots on the streets of Las Palmas.

Having independently released (and sold out of) their self-titled debut EP, Brassroots have received global radio play from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Rob Da Bank & the USA’s legendary KCRW. The band’s cover of Inner City’s ‘Good Life’ alone has racked up well over 1000 iTunes chart appearances so far.

And now hot off the press comes their debut album released on Harper’s own record label, Brassroots Records: ‘Black Eye Friday’ is a 48 minute cacophony of funk, pop, dubstep, hiphop and things that don’t actually have a name yet. It’s everything you’ve dreamt it would be.
