My first encounter with Big Wy’s Brass Band came at a grimy co-op show, where I witnessed a truly once-in-a-lifetime sight: college kids moshing to a full jazz band. Graduating from West Campus royalty to citywide favorites, the Big Easy-influenced group brings the party to both local and international stages with their swaggering six-piece horn ensemble and high-rolling rhythm section. Namesake Wyatt Corder works as a musical man about town, contributing trumpet virtuosity to sought-after Austin acts including Sir Woman, BLK ODYSSY, and Abhi the Nomad, but especially shines when surrounded by his Brass Band-mates.
