Lucky Chops is big, brassy, and unapologetically bold. The six piece band has united audiences

in more than 30 countries and counting with their infectious energy, hard driving grooves and

potent singable melodies. The irresistible groove that is Lucky Chops is led by co-founder Josh

Holcomb’s soulful trombone, Daro Behroozi’s soaring sax and Joshua Gawel’s powerful

trumpet. Born in the streets of New York City’s multicultural melting pot the band pays homage

to America’s New Orleans brass band tradition while fusing their sound with eclectic rock,

Caribbean, Arabic, Eastern European, funk, jazz, ska, gospel, and EDM.

“Our strength is having individual members who get to express themselves as part of a whole

that is more than the sum of its parts,” says Behroozi, a Brooklyn native whose polyglot

Iranian/Dutch/French/German background has led to his interest in everything from Middle

Eastern sounds to the tradition of the Balkan brass bands.
