Fifteen MarchFourth musicians traveled from Portland, Oregon to New Orleans, Louisiana to record their fourth studio album, MAGIC NUMBER, self-released in September 2016. With Producer Ben Ellman (Galactic) and Engineer/Producer Mikael “Count” Eldridge (DJ Shadow, Tycho, Trombone Shorty) at the helm, the album is full of the captivating grooves and brassy swagger you’d expect from MarchFourth, plus a healthy dose of New Orleans magic, with guest appearance by Trombone Shorty, Stanton Moore (drums), and Matt Perrine (sousaphone). The album was fan-funded through Kickstarter.
“From the first note to the last, the sound was pumping and the fun never stopped… It’s worth noting that there are serious musicians behind all the fun. It’s obvious these guys (and gals) have had lots of training and formal practice. Talented band geeks turned rebels.” ~USAToday
Mitchum Yacoub & The Brass Empire!
Inspired by the artists like Fela Kuti, Dr. Dre and James Brown, Mitchum Yacoub’s music harkens back to Africa in the 70s – with the bass and drums turned up a notch. He executes strong, repetitive grooves layered with Afro-Latin percussion and vibrant, tight horn lines that call all dancers to the floor.

Originality, musicianship and a massive sound are three elements keeping Yacoub’s band steadily on the road, and a fast-growing festival favorite. The highly acclaimed release of his debut album, “Living High in the Brass Empire,” brings the experience home as a showcase in his unique approach to roots music; forming explosive intersections of Afrobeat, cumbia and soul which will lift you from your seat and leave you wanting more.
