This explosive ensemble brings together the best of AC/DC’s hard-rock edge, Dr. Dre’s hip-hop swagger, and everything in between. Their unique sound is fuelled by original songs that blend punk, ska, jazz, and modern pop influences, guaranteed to get crowds moving and singing along!

Tribute to the Groove, their debut album (July 2024), skyrocketed to #1 on CKUA charts and topped the !earshot National Jazz chart. This monumental success is just the beginning for BrassTactics.

Live, Brasstactics is an unstoppable force, igniting dance floors and inspiring sing-alongs. Their infectious energy, tight performances, and genre-bending sound make them a must-see experience. With their sights set on conquering the Canadian music scene, BrassTactics is fresher, hungrier, and more determined than ever. Join the party and witness the unstoppable momentum of Brasstactics!
