NAMM SHOW 2012!!!

We played the NAMM 2012 Show and we’re back! and it was a huge success! We joined the Fernand L. Petiot marching band along with some of the industry’s finest musicians to open the show with the traditional parade through the arena. We played John Phillips Sousa’s Washington Post March and stopped in each hall to play the Star Bangled Banner.

The highlight for us was the 40 min. performance on the B/C Patio Stage. We sounded better than good – we sounded GREAT! At least that’s what the many folks who stopped us after the show told us.

Here’s just one example of why we love going to NAMM. From the Roland Stage, a wonderful mix of all-star players get together and JAM using some of the coolest tools at the show. This clip features: Kern Brantley, Valdez Brantley, Tyra Juliette, George Spanky McCurdy, Brockett Parsons, Scott Tibbs and an awesome sax solo from Patrick Lamb.
