Emerging from Connecticut, the Funky Dawgz Brass Band is back after years of silence. Harnessing the soulful spirit of New Orleans R&B, the seven-man act delivers a level of bounce and warmth that can only be found along the sidewalks and plazas of bustling city nightlife.
“Love Don’t Cost a Thing” showcases this feeling. Over six minutes, the track bursts with vibrancy and energy that can only be found walking down the streets of New Orleans on a Friday night. The feeling of funk, jazz, and celebration are intoxicating for any soul connoisseur. For those interested in groove, bounce, and the nuances in between, this single is not one to miss.
Alongside this release, the band is releasing a new studio album titled Vertical. The album is set to release on June 17th. The album is arriving in celebration of the band’s formation ten years ago at the University of Connecticut. Colin Walters of the band, the alto saxophonist, speaks on the album:
The music from this album definitely highlights the growth we have made as a band, individuals, and musicians over the last 10 years. We each have different musical tastes and that made the recording process exciting as we worked through various melodic and harmonic ideas.

Since then, the horn players have played at venues all across the country, including Madison Square Garden. For more information on the Funky Dawgz Brass Band, visit funkydawgzbrassband.com.
