The Big 6 Brass Band is a New Orleans brass band. The group was founded in 2017 by members and alumni of some of the city's top brass bands including the Rebirth Brass Band, Hot 8 Brass Band, Stooges Brass Band, and To Be Continued Brass Band. Soon after their founding in 2017, the Big 6 became the most popular band on the streets, playing in almost every second line of the 2018–2019 season.
