“We reached out to Ryan at Northside Brass about hiring the 7 piece swing band for our annual gala, and I have to say it was the best decision I made! They are incredible musicians and were so accommodating to our needs. They even bailed us out when we needed to use their PA system for our speeches. Great people and I would happily hire them again.” (Greg- Lakepoint Tower Chicago, 9/15/24)
