45th Street Brass Band with Swindler at the Firefly Lounge

45th Street Brass Band are Trevor Parrish on trumpet, Dave Marriott on trombone, Peter Daniel on saxophones, Nelson Bell on sousaphone, Matthew Goodin on drums and Annie Jantzer singing up front.

It looks like a brass band, but it doesnt quite sound like one. The style comes more from funk, soul and sometimes hip hop, but having a drum and sousaphone core means that the groove comes firstit often drives song forwardand everything else is built on top. Over the years, 45th St Brass has been made up of some of the best horn section players in the northwest. Now the band features the electrifying vocals of Annie J up front, giving it a wholly unique sound and broad appeal.

Swindler produces a fresh and original sound that integrates funk, jazz and psychedelic rock into a masterful sonic tapestry. Their innovative approach makes each live experience compelling and unique. The band continues to expand an already rapidly growing fanbase with each show. Funk based grooves, tight melodic arrangements and strong instrumental improvisation all create a vibe that brings the dance floor alive.

Based in Seattle, they have toured extensively throughout the northwest and beyond. Swindler has shared the bill with numerous national touring acts and regional favorites such as Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Pink Talking Fish, Yak Attack, Crack Sabbath and many others. They were recently featured at the Summer Meltdown festival, 4 Peaks festival and Element Music festival in British Columbia, and also featured in Relix Magazine in 2018 on their new artist audio sample release.
