A lot of great things have happened when people just got fed up -- think Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat on the bus. While the Po'Boys Brass Band may not be sparking the next great civil rights movement, the four trombone players that make up the band were fed up with sitting in the back of orchestras and jazz bands. Now they put out enough soulful, groove-filled melodies at their live shows to get everyone out of their seats. The rhythm section (guitar, drums, and tuba) round out the band and only add to the oddity of the lineup and the fullness of the sound.
