I'm a Brass Roots Movie Backer!

I'm very happy to be finally backing this documentary.  It's the first of its kind to tell the story of New Orleans modern brass bands.  For me, that story is a key part of the lifeline of the city, and it's a very important one to tell.  That story helps preserve and continue the music culture of New Orleans. 

These guys will donate all of their raw footage to universities and organizations for educational purposes.  They'll also direct proceeds from the film to The Roots of Music, the ever growing, successful, and awesome after school music education program for kids in New Orleans.
