Brass Menažeri (pronounced “Menagerie”) is San Francisco’s original & hottest Balkan Romani (“Gypsy”) Brass Band. Our music cascades through Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Greece & even Rajasthan with wild rhythms, new sensibilities, innovative arrangements & original compositions, expanding the traditions while we remain rooted within them. Directed by trumpeter & clarinetist Peter Jaques, Brass Menazeri unites the Bay Area’s foremost interpreters & reimaginers of the Balkan traditions.

Stevens Family Gypsy Boys (Paul and George Stevens)
"Paul and George Stevens (Gypsy Boys) have been playing music since they were children. They started performing about ten years ago. And have made a lot of parties an experience that will never be forgotten. They don’t just stand there and play. The Guitar player plays guitar and Dances at the same time it’s a really cool show. They also have a 10 piece band known as A Band of Gipsy’s." (P.S.)
