Gallowstreet is a Dutch brass band from Amsterdam. Their beat-driven sound blends hip hop, funk and afrobeat for brass, reeds and percussion.
History
Gallowstreet is named after the Galgenstraat (literally “Gallows Street”) in Amsterdam, where the band first formed in 2012.[1]
Early festival highlights include Eurosonic Noorderslag (2014),[2] North Sea Jazz (2017),[3] and Lowlands (2016).[4]
In 2017, the group was a finalist for the Edison Jazzism Audience Award for their debut album Battleplan (2016).[5]
On 16 February 2018 the band hosted its own brass night, HONK!, at a sold-out Paradiso in Amsterdam;[6] a second edition followed on 8 March 2019.[7]
On 10 August 2019 Gallowstreet performed a special collaboration with the string collective Pynarello at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam; the repertoire was rearranged for brass plus strings and later released as the live EP Gallowstreet Royale ft. Pynarello – Live at the Concertgebouw (2021).[8][9] The collaboration continued with a Dutch tour in 2022 and a joint concert at Carré on 10 November 2022.[10]
