Biography We are the AMP'D Brass Band. We are the Notrthshore's little piece of NOLA! The band is comprised of college students from SLU, and USM, as well has Mandeville and Ponchatoula High students. The band has played at many diffrent venues as well as parades. Nobody does it like AMP'd on the Northshore!

I had the absolute pleasure of hearing the AMP'd brass band perform last year at the annual Strawberry Jam festival, since then I have followed them virtually. This is more than a group of talented young musicians. These guys are passionate and vigorous. Their sets are Jazzy, Up-Beat, and fun. They lack nothing short of Immaculate Talent. One of the things that makes a great band is the way they speak to the audience, AMPd draws you into the performance. The boys are charismatic and undeniably lovable. Plus you wont find a Tuba player who rocks it like Miles Loyns. Two thumbs up boys, you kick brass!
