The Dirty Dozen Brass Band Tickets

I was so excited for this concert. I grew up in New Orleans but currently living in Memphis. I thought it would be cool getting to see some of what I grew up listening to. Soon after they came out, a political comment was made. My personal take was, since the audience was predominantly white that they (wrongfully) assumed it was a MAGA friendly audience. I didn’t like the insinuation. I don’t like politics at all. I don’t like political discussions. I paid good money for myself, husband, and an adult son to have a lighthearted night out. It was very off-putting. I couldn’t look at that guy for the rest of the evening. Overall, I enjoyed the music very much, but not the vibe set by the trumpeter.

Excellent concert, Band was very good. Excellent venue.Look forward to seeing them again in the future.

These guys are legendary and they did not disappoint. Non stop feel good energy!

We love going to the Bijou in downtown Knoxville. The Dirty Dozen put on a great New Orleans jazz concert. Amazing that 3 of the band members have been together for 48 years!

We enjoyed the band very much and the venue, because it wasn't so huge that we had to navigate a whole bunch of different places we'll go again

Phenomenal show, amazing band in a great venue! The bar was amazing, recommend this venue for amazing intimate shows!

Dirty Dozen Brass Band gave an excellent performance. Great music done right

A hot show on and off stage. Muscular New Orleans Brass Band music from seven guys with bodacious chops and outstanding improvising skills. They played their originals plus Dixieland classics. They really brought the party. A video wall behind the band played Mardi Gras parade footage, a juggler stood in the middle of the dance floor throwing LED lit clubs, an acrobat performed ribbon dancing and contortions on the balcony, and a stilt walker danced through the crowd most of the night. I wish the vocals had been a little clearer but still glad I came. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

It's was easy to get tickets on the phone a d not wasting paper

The sound guy had the volume up much louder than necessary-should have been 25% lower to not take from the joy of the event.. And we were in the back of the main floor right near the sound board. Similar situation occurred for Tommy Castro show several years ago when the bass drum volume was so darn loud every beat sent out a shuddering shock wave that pounded into the chest and hurt the eardrums and I had to leave during at least the last 70% of his show because it was not enjoyable at all-painful. I cannot imagine that anyone there truly wants the volume that high. Betty Lavette came on right after Castro and the volume was perfect. So it was perfect volume for Mavis and Shemekia a year later. The performances buy these folks were quite good and maybe the audience as a whole liked the many NOLA standard tunes that are heard a lot down there and many song lyrics and stanzas get a bit repetitious and drag on. I always enjoy a group that has mostly their own original tunes and styles. Mingo Fishtrap sure comes to mind from Bastille days about 3 years ago--and the Soul Rebels there and in NOLA during French Quarter Festival. Tab Benoit and Marc Broussard are located in NOLA and would be great. Victor Wainright and the Train. Chubby Carrier, Terrance Simien. Not from NOLA but down south Carolyn Wonderland and Nikki HIll would be a great double bill there. Keep an eye open for the California Honeydrops making a tour up this way. And Hamilton Loomis out of Galveston TX has one heckuva band and live show and would be great double bill with Ghost Town Blues Band from Memphis.
