ARTIST BIO
Bang Bang Experience is a seven-piece brass and drums ensemble from Portland, OR playing the music of trumpet player, Sam Dechenne. Inspired by the sounds of international brass bands and Jazz ensembles, Funk and Reggae horn sections, West African and Latin American drumming, their sound is truly their own.

The rhythm section interweaves grooves and swaps roles throughout the performance for a visual and audible experience. Drum set, Cajon, Timbales, Congas, Surdo (Brazilian Bass Drum) and a variety of mixed percussion make up the intricate drum beats you’ll hear. The lower brass section takes on the bass role, rhythmic comping, inner harmonies and supporting melodies. Riding the musical wave on top is the trumpet, playing the main melody and voice of the band.
