Grammy-Award Winner Danny Davis didn’t just add horns to country music—he changed its sound forever. What began as a bold experiment became one of Nashville’s most decorated ensembles, winning six consecutive CMA Instrumental Group of the Year awards and a Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance.
Their unmistakable style—country classics powered by soaring trumpets and rich brass harmonies—became a sensation. As one profile noted, Davis was warned that “country music fans don’t like horns,” yet he proved the opposite, turning the Nashville Brass into a beloved staple of American music.
This debut performance brings that electrifying sound to Arts Bonita: familiar songs re-imagined with bold brass, tight rhythms, and the irresistible energy that made the Nashville Brass a trailblazing force. It’s a chance to experience the group that expanded Nashville’s musical vocabulary and earned some of the highest honors in the industry.
