The Shabby Road Orchestra is an ad-hoc 13-piece Minneapolis rock collective dedicated to staging intermittent, sprawling and over-achieving live recreations of the Beatles iconic studio years albums, note-for-note complete with sound effects, harmonies, Lennon-esque idiosyncrasies and largely authentic instrumentation on the occasion of their 50th anniversary year. The show is a celebration of the Beatles late-period music, with no wigs, costumes or impersonations but periodic bursts of sly banter and plenty of good cheer.  It has consistently sold-out Minneapolis’s best music listening rooms, including The Dakota, Icehouse, the Parkway and the Chanhassen.

The mission of the CSB is to represent the Evolution of the Brass Quintet. Through inventive concerts, engaging educational programs, and original musical arrangements, we bring a fresh perspective to instrumental music. To express our artistic voice, we use a dazzling fusion of brass, keyboard, guitar, percussion, and electronic instruments to appeal to a universal audience and go beyond ordinary. This is why the Copper Street Brass matters: we de-compartmentalize music through bold and innovative programming that breaks free from your favorite playlist or expected concert experience. We present an unparalleled variety of music on every single performance, and this variety has become the calling card of the Copper Street Brass.
