Experience Rebirth Brass Band live on July 11th

Rebirth Brass Band is scheduled to perform at Martyrs' in Chicago, Illinois on July 11, 2026. The band is a prominent force in New Orleans brass band music, blending traditional jazz elements with funk, soul, and hip-hop influences. Formed in 1983, Rebirth Brass Band gained recognition for revitalizing the New Orleans brass band tradition, moving it beyond strictly traditional funeral and parade music toward a more dynamic and improvisational performance style. They are known for their energetic live shows and incorporating original compositions alongside classic New Orleans tunes.

Martyrs', located in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago, has been a longstanding venue dedicated to showcasing diverse musical acts since its establishment in 1985. Originally conceived as an alternative to larger concert halls, Martyrs’ quickly became known for its intimate setting and focus on roots, blues, folk, jazz, and world music. The venue operates across two distinct spaces: a larger main room hosting seated concerts and a smaller club area offering a more casual experience. Throughout its history, Martyrs’ has hosted both established artists and emerging talents, fostering a reputation as a crucial part of Chicago’s live music scene.
