Inspired by the iconic brass bands of New Orleans, they searched far and wide for pop and dance music charts to build their repertoire and eventually started creating their own arrangements and mashups. Whether it’s a chart-topping anthem or a dance floor classic, audiences will immediately recognize their favourite songs, but with a fresh, brass-infused twist. From Billie Eilish to Abba, you’ll be humming along before you know it, as the band transforms familiar hits into a high-energy celebration that’s impossible to resist. Kingston’s music scene has never sounded this fun! Information Source: Cabbage the Band | eventbrite
