“Swingin’ on the street corners like jazz got lost and decided to party.”
A gritty, joyous live street performance of the classic Minnie The Moocher — Brothers Moving bring Nashville-soul energy to Union Square. Street crowd reactions, call-and-response scatting and ragged brass vibes make this an unforgettable raw music moment.
Old-school jazz & swing (think Cab Calloway-style scat), blues street band energy, folk storytelling, roots reggae stomp
Earthy grit meets jazzy swagger — like Tom Waits jamming in a subway station with a reggae rhythm section.
Brothers Moving is a Danish-American ensemble that carved its name out of New York City’s vibrant street performance culture. Since 2008, they’ve fused blues, funk, reggae, roots and folk into a sound that feels ancient and totally alive. Their feel-good performances mix raw vocal grit with instruments that rattle your bones and leave you grinning. They’ve taken their high-energy street shows to festivals across Europe and the U.S. — all while staying true to independent roots.
They make classic tunes feel like live, spontaneous magic — street-corner soul with no studio polish.
Their performances are organic community experiences — audiences become part of the show.
They represent how real music thrives outside the charts — raw talent, real people, true vibe.
