Lucky Chops
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Lucky Chops is big, brassy, and unapologetically bold. The six-piece band has united audiences in more than 30 countries in thousands of shows, hard-driving grooves and potent singable melodies. The irresistible groove that is Lucky Chops is led by co-founder Josh Holcomb’s soulful trombone, Daro Behroozi’s soaring sax and Joshua Gawel’s powerful trumpet. Born in the streets of New York City’s multicultural melting pot, the band pays homage to America’s New Orleans brass band tradition while fusing their sound with eclectic rock, Caribbean, Arabic, Eastern European, funk, jazz, ska, gospel, and EDM.
Starting in the underground halls of New York City’s subway stations, Lucky Chops first learned to entertain by busking for crowds worldwide. Their talent did not go unnoticed, as a video of their mash-up of Lipps, Inc.’s “Funkytown” and James Brown’s “I Feel Good” has amassed hundreds of millions of views across social media. It led to an online subscriber base of almost two million strong.
