With the capability to perform as a full 10 piece stage band, 6-7 piece combo lineup, add DJ Push/Pull for an electronic set, or take you to New Orleans by transforming into a true second line parade, ESB's versatility allows them to adapt to virtually any party setting imaginable. The group is comprised of veteran musicians who have honed their skills with, and been regular members of acts such as; Squirrel Nut Zippers, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, and Big Ol’ Nasty Get Down.

Youngblood Brass Band - Nuclear Summer
Wow. Just, ... wow. I've never heard of these guys before, but they are like the perfect blend of horns and high energy that I'd put together if I could custom create a band. It's exotic and modern and mean. You've got some jazz and bebop sounds --check! You've got a little Latin --check! You've got some vocals and they start smooth --check!! But by the end of this performance he's spittin' like a fire hose on fire --double check!!
The Trombone player starts it off with a simple riff. But each horn in turn gets their spotlight. The Tuba even gets a simple bass riff that should make any bass guitar player quit his night job. Why hasn't anyone got me their CD yet?! It's jazz you can slam dance to.
