Welcome to Northside Brass Music Co.

Vintage Live Music for Modern Events

Since 2011 we have helped couples, companies, and communities create unforgettable events with exceptional live music throughout Chicago, Wisconsin, Northwest Indiana, and the Midwest.

Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, gala, holiday party, Oktoberfest celebration, or private gathering, we provide brass bands, jazz bands, string quartets, swing bands, and soloists that bring energy, elegance, and professionalism to every performance.

From a String Quartet for your wedding ceremony, to a Jazz Band for cocktail hour, to a high-energy Brass Band or Swing Band that keeps the party going, we make live music easy, seamless, and memorable.
