Stiletto Brass

Stiletto Brass is a brass ensemble that is known for the red stilettos and their outstanding brass playing. The group was formed in 2010, has gained exposure as a leading ensemble with performances with Doc Severinsen, at the International Women's Brass Conference, and the National Trumpet Competition. 

Pictured: Amy Gilreath and Susan Rider, trumpets; Misty Tolle, horn; Natalie Mannix, trombone; and Velvet Brown, tuba.

You can check out their bios here.

The group according to “The Brass Herald”  

"reflects timely changes in the music scene. Its energetic and diversified repertoire includes avant-garde compositions written by leading composers of our time, as well as classical and popular works from the Baroque period to Gershwin. Stiletto’s concerts are fun, serious, heart-warming, emotionally intense, and always an audience’s favorite!"
I wanted to include this video of them playing with Doc at The Great American Brass Festival held in Kentucky. Reminds me of something you would hear on the street of New Orleans.
