Too Phat Brass Band

Musing the history of the genre along with the communal history of the band, Too Phat traces back to 2020 — and Josh Lambert’s love for second-line music; along with trombonist Leroy Pridgen IV, and saxophonist Shane Wheeler, and trumpeter Benjamin Strickland. “Ben lived and played in New Orleans for several years and was an amazing resource to the rest of the band for all things NOLA,” Goad explained, bridging the connections that brought him into the fold. “He and I worked together in The Magnificents,” Goad continued. “And I worked with Shane and Leroy with Unheard Project GSO. I was asked to join the band on vocals for a couple of songs in 2021 and I’ve loved working together since.”
