The Nasty Nati Brass Band’s inspiration is from a long tradition of Brass Bands from New Orleans as well as marching bands from historically Black colleges and RB funk Bands such as Earth Wind and Fire, Chuck Brown and others. Expect the music to have flavors of, Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, the Balkans, and a steady dose of R&B and just some good old soul. Being based in southwest Ohio there is a Soulful Bass Sound because of the influences from James Brown, the Ohio Players and Boosty Collins. There is always a mix of original songs unique to the band, arrangements of popular songs, Mardi Gras, jazz standards, funk classics etc... And always true to the spirit of a New Orleans brass bands the desire is for everyone to have a good time through the excitement and energy of creating and listening to great live music
