Broken Brass is releasing new single 'Broke' ft. Pablo van de Poel (DeWolff)

On January 21st, Broken Brass is releasing the first single, 'Broke', of their upcoming album which will be released on April 22nd this year. Pablo Van De Poel, singer/guitarist of DeWolff, provides this soulful single and title track with the necessary funky guitar licks and a ripping solo.

Broken Brass is next level brass music. Explosive and energetic, combining the energy of brass with the attitude of rock 'n' roll, the drive of funk and the flow of hip hop. With their upcoming album, Broken Brass reflects on the last couple of troublesome covid years, which were a major setback for every live band. Broken Brass is broke; in terms of finances, but certainly not when it comes to inspiration and perseverance. 'Broke' is about running your pocket dry along the way, but continuing to work hard to fulfill your goals and ambitions, about persevering and having faith in a good outcome. The past period gave the band the unique opportunity to look at the personalities and international diversity of the group, the jointly achieved (international) successes and to find out where the strength of the band lies.

"I'm broke, I don't care, I'll be working hard till it works out for the best" - Broken Brass

With more than 500 shows under their belt Broken Brass is a live force to be reckoned with. Live they deliver hard-hitting brass power and their riotous shows have seen them conquer crowds all over the world. With origins based in the Netherlands, Broken Brass have been firing up a storm all over the world with an energizing and eclectic live sound, pairing punchy basses with hard-hitting brass. The enigmatic nine-piece have conquered clubs and festivals in almost 20 countries with slots at VH1 Festival (India), Secret Garden Party (UK), Fusion Festival (GER), Kendal Calling (UK), Green Man (WAL), North Sea Jazz (NL), Eurosonic (NL) and more. In addition, the globetrotting act has sold out multiple UK and Dutch venues, gained airtime from all the big Dutch media and in the UK from a.o. Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show and BBC Radio 6. Consistently filling 300 capacity venues on live reputation alone, in every country they play, shows that underestimating this brass band is out of the question.
