It pains us to inform the public that one of our  Brass Band family, Brother Kevin Bradley has transitioned home.

Always remember, what moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more song. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, hopefully, we remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget!!!
Bunk Johnson Brazz Band - Brothers Forever!!!

I will Leave you with his most famous words before every performance......

"LETS MAKE IT DO WHAT IT DO!!!"
