The Heat sends out congratulations to New Orleans’ own Rebirth Brass Band and Basin Street Records, for winning their first Grammy on Sunday.
The band’s “Rebirth of New Orleans,” released by Basin Street during the 2011 Mardi Gras, was named “Best Regional Roots Music Album” earlier today during the Grammys‘ pre-telecast portion of the 54th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California.
We were fortunate to have made their acquaintance at the 2011 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, courtesy of Ms. Melanie “StarLynn” Veal.
The Rebirth’s next show is at The Howlin’ Wolf in New Orleans on February 16th. Visit their website to learn more: http://www.rebirthbrassband.com/
