Rebirth Brass Band at The Chapel

Catch the legendary, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band on Fat Tuesday at The Chapel (777 Valencia St., San Francisco) with doors at 7 PM and the show at 8 PM. Founded over 35 years ago by brothers Phil and Keith Frazier, Rebirth started on French Quarter sidewalks and second-line parades before becoming global ambassadors of New Orleans’ brass band tradition—blending jazz, funk, soul, R&B, and street sounds into fiery, high-energy performances. Praised by artists like Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) as “unbelievable” and “hard as hell,” they’ve collaborated with icons from the Grateful Dead to U2 and Trombone Shorty. Kick off the evening with dinner and drinks at nearby Curio (gumbo, hush puppies, king cake, Hurricanes, beads, and a second line with East Bay Brass Band), where dining gets you expedited entry to skip the line. It’s an unforgettable soundtrack-of-New-Orleans night in the Mission District and the perfect way to celebrate Mardi Gras in San Francisco.
