Join us for a special evening of music and community in support of celebrated New Orleans trumpeter, composer, and educator Wendell Brunious. 

A vital ambassador of New Orleans, Wendell Brunious has spent a lifetime carrying forward the musical traditions of Jazz.  The son of legendary trumpeter John Brunious, Wendell continues a remarkable family legacy with a style defined by lyrical phrasing, a warm tone, and a deep connection to the heritage of our city. 

Over the course of his distinguished career, Wendell has performed and recorded with some of the most esteemed musicians including  Wynton Marsalis, Lionel Hampton, Danny Barker, and Dr. John. He has also been a longtime member and Director of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, helping bring the distinctive sound and spirit of New Orleans Jazz to audiences around the world. 

Now, the New Orleans music community is coming together to give back to a musician who has given so much to this city and its musical legacy.

This special benefit concert will bring together an incredible lineup of musicians, friends, family, and supporters to celebrate Wendell’s talents, artistry and enduring impact while raising funds to support him during his current battle with cancer.

This performance features Mark Braud, Bruce Brackman, Roderick Paulin, Freddie Lonzo, Meghan Swartz, and Aron Lambert with Special Guests Tom Hook and John Boutté
