No kidding? They've been around for 20+ years and are some serious road dogs. I'm surprised you haven't come across them in Austin at some point. Funk/brass band with all trombones as the horn section. "Only" three bones on this record but in the past they've had as many as five.

Just thought of this - Brenton Wood passed away yesterday at 83. He was born in Shreveport, LA. We were supposed to see him a little over a year ago in San Antonio for a little festival and he canceled the day of because I think he wasn't feeling well.
