DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND

DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND: GOING ON AGAIN

This new music-intensive one-hour special features the Dirty Dozen Brass Band’s unique tribute to their New Orleans home on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina - an uplifting, emotionally-charged reinterpretation of Marvin Gaye's classic protest album, What's Going On.

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band performs these songs and other New Orleans classics live, and band members discuss the enduring resonance of Gaye's message to the people of New Orleans today in Katrina’s wake.

Please consider airing this program over Labor Day Weekend.

DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND: GOING ON AGAIN is hosted by New Orleans resident Harry Shearer, host of the nationally-syndicated public radio program Le Show, and star of The Simpsons, This is Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind.
