MEET OUR NEW ORLEANS WEEKEND HEADLINER… BONERAMA! 🔥🎺

⚜️ BISMARCK, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO EXPERIENCE NEW ORLEANS MUSIC, THIS IS THE BAND YOU NEED TO SEE! ⚜️

So, who exactly is BONERAMA?

Imagine the soul of New Orleans, the energy of a rock concert, the funk of Bourbon Street, and a brass section that will absolutely BLOW YOU AWAY! 🎶🔥

BONERAMA IS A FORCE OF NATURE!

Formed in New Orleans in 1998, Bonerama has created a sound unlike anything else. They're part funky rock band, part brass band, and 100% NEW ORLEANS!

🎺 Rock
🎷 Jazz
🔥 Funk & Soul
🎸 Blues & Gospel
🥁 And a whole lot of New Orleans attitude!

And here's what makes them REALLY different…

THE TROMBONES ARE THE STARS OF THE SHOW! 🎺

Front and center, these incredible musicians take songs you know and love and transform them into something extraordinary!

We're talking music from Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Allman Brothers, and even Black Sabbath — all with that unmistakable Bonerama twist!

They've also shared stages and studios with artists including R.E.M., Little Feat, Ivan Neville, Galactic, and George Porter Jr.

This isn't your typical jazz concert.

THIS IS BIG BRASS. BIG ENERGY. BIG FUN! 🔥

And the best part?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO NEW ORLEANS TO EXPERIENCE IT! WE'RE BRINGING BONERAMA TO BISMARCK!
