Brass Queens, New York’s female-led brass band brings infectious New Orleans flair and powerful sisterhood energy to Seattle’s South End roller rink. Within intricate horn lines and driving grooves, they construct a jazz wall of sound reinforced with Balkan music, mambo, film scores, pop, and classic rock. Skate till late!

Brass Queens is a female-led, New York-based brass band that has been dominating the brass band scene since 2019. Finding that they shared similar frustrations about the emerging brass band scene in New York City, co-founders Alex Harris and Ally Chapel came together to form a group dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape that was dominated by male musicians and bandleaders. After debuting in March 2019, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed “the hardest working band in town” by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic.

In November 2023, the band released their first full-length album titled Black & Gold, which is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who supported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced street corners during the COVID-19 pandemic, to the crowded clubs and packed venues of today. Less than a year later, Brass Queens released their second full-length album and their first album of all-original music titled Hot Tub Sessions Vol. I.
