About the Free Agents Brass Band Founded by bass drummer, Ellis Joseph, the Free Agents Brass Band brought together musicians who had been displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and no longer had regular performing jobs with the bands they’d worked with before the storm. “I consider myself a free agent, so that’s where the name came from,” says Joseph. An experienced bass drummer and graduate of St. Augustine High School, Joseph has traveled extensively with various New Orleans Brass Bands.
