Music & the Band That Plays It ... for All Occasions
Jazz Funeral
Going Out In Style
The Jazz Funeral is a centuries-old tradition of mourning and celebration to honor a departed soul. Band of Praise has participated in dozens of funeral and memorial services in the Twin Cities — walking the pathways of a cemetery, marching through church , playing Dixieland blues next to the casket at a wake, playing blues from a choir loft, or outside at the church door — then on to the meeting hall for family, food, and music.

Party
Soundtrack for a Good Time
Winter Mardi Gras season or a summer Bar-B-Q, Band of Praise’s style of feel-good music helps to make sure the good times roll. Our honest, acoustic musical sound is conversation-friendly. We enhance the space rather than dominate it, but at the same time if you like to dance, nothing moves the body like Dixieland. Band of Praise and Mardi Gras are an obvious match, but we play riverboat cruises, home parties, art fairs, you name it.
