The Pocket Aces Brass Band funks up the traditional brass band sound with brass-hop stylings and youthful energy. Their repertoire is full of New Orleans favorites such as 'Feel Like Funkin' It Up' alongside originals like the popular 'In My City.'
The band was founded by childhood buddies Jimmie Reamey and Geoffrey Guillot, on trumpet and sousaphone respectively, who recruited half a dozen fellow musicians to round out the group — including MC Kyle Scivicque, bassist Tomidee Guillot, and trumpeter David Melancon.
The Pocket Aces have become regulars at festivals and club gigs across the region, including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Metairie's Family Gras, and Hammond's Gnarly Gras. They played the Jazz & Heritage Stage at Jazz Fest on April 26, 2025, and Munck Music has issued a series of their live festival sets.
