Gallowstreet, the Dutch brass band with an attitude. Hailing from the Galgenstraat in Amsterdam they have refined their sound through the course of 5 albums.
Over a decade of innovating brass music, Gallowstreet has been up and at it. Armed with 7 horn players and 1 drummer the bandemploys a wide range of musical genres to tell stories with their compositions, most of them beat driven, all of them with anthemic quality.
Gallowstreet has proven to be a big inspiration for the emerging European Brass Band scene. There’s not a week that goes by without a video of one of the songs being covered by young enthusiastic brass bands from around the globe. Their songs have seen re-arrangements for a wide range of ensembles and Gallowstreet has been a consistent source of inspiration for other bands.
With shows on Lowlands, North Sea Jazz, Bout Du Monde, in Algeria, Slowakia and Turkey and sold out clubshows in the famous Paradiso in Amsterdam and the legendary New Morning in Paris the band is a well-traveled, seasoned ensemble that knows the crack of the whip when it comes to playing big shows for large crowds.
