Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Raunchy circus roots. Polished precision performances. A joyful cacophony of Balkan, Klezmer and funk, with a tasteful thrash of metal thrown in for good measure. No matter the occasion, Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band has got the brass to get you up and dancing.

Some whisper in hushed tones that ENSMB is the ultimate herald of mirthful discord, while others have gone mad at the mere mention of the name. It’s music shrouded in mystery and wicked intrigue. But there’s one thing we know for sure:

Dance!

Party!

Horns will wail. Shoulders will shimmy. Faces will melt.
