The Brass Cadillac Band

Brass Cadillac loves to bring you timeless music, from early Soul to the Classic Rock sounds of Chicago, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers and so many others.

They've been seen as the featured performers at Fairs, Parades, and Banquets, both private and community based across Southern California. You'll be glad you brought the Brass Cadillac to Car Shows, Concerts in the Park, or any event large or small thanks to their wide musical range. The 8 piece band features The Cadillac Horns, and their song selection will deliver a stunning event.  

This is an old-school group, not just hired guns, who know how to fill the dance floor and capture a crowd, young and old. Brass Cadillac brings the joy that will liven up any event and get your party started. See them on Facebook @BrassCadillac.
