Brass Mash on Up+Adam Podcast

If you’ve ever wondered what makes Brass Mash more than just a band — if you’re curious how we turn pop songs into unstoppable horn-powered mashups and why crowds can’t stay in their seats — then you’ll love our featured video podcast episode: Brass to the Future: The Band That’s a Mash Made in SLO on YouTube.

In this engaging episode of Up + Adam with Adam Montiel, host Adam Montiel sits down with three core members of Brass Mash — founder and bandleader Colin Dean, saxophone dynamo Anna Wilson, and trumpet powerhouse Ben Kerr — for a deep conversation about what we do and how we do it. You’ll hear firsthand how our mashup style comes together, how we craft shows that connect with diverse audiences, and why our upcoming March 6 Fremont Theater show feels like a milestone moment for the band.

This isn’t your typical band interview. The episode breaks down our creative approach — from arrangement philosophy to show dynamics — and gives listeners an inside look at the method behind our musical madness. Whether you’re a longtime fan or someone just discovering Brass Mash, the energy, humor, and passion that drives our performances come through clearly in every minute of this video.

Brass Mash has grown from a local scene favorite — known for mashing Britney Spears with Black Sabbath and Lorde with Dr. Dre — into a group that’s crossing generations and genres with a live show experience that truly reflects the Central Coast’s vibrant music community.
