Swedish Moose Mob Brass Band

Swedish Moose Mob Brass Band – a gathering of Sweden's most brilliant brass and percussion players, united in a musical force that charish outpu and energy rather than perfection.

Hear, blaring trumpets meet resonant trombones, a sousaphone whose deeply grooving tones resemble the heavy breathing of the earth, saxophones crying out their lament while the drums, sweaty and relentless, drive the music forward like a primal force.

With some of the country's most renowned horn players leading the way, you are guided into a world where the music is not only heard – you can feel it!
