The New Orleans Potholes Brass Band was established in 1996 and is led by retired US Marine Corps veteran and sousaphonist Rob Espino. The group is fully acoustic and able to play in any setting, from the street to the stage.
The band works the second-line and club circuit, including the 'Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon' series at Three Maries Jazz Club, and made the French Quarter Festival lineup for 2024.
