The Band
The Selby Avenue Brass Band brings a unique voice to the Minneapolis / St. Paul music scene.  While our musical roots come from the streets of New Orleans we expand from that genre into many others.

​The group is led by Tom Wells, tubaist, arranger & composer and music educator in the Twin Cities area. Tom’s compositions and arrangement fuel a band comprised of enthusiastic and experienced musicians (including a Grammy winner).
