Bonerama is a brass funk rock band from New Orleans. Their story began in 1998 when original band members Mark Mullins (trombone) and Craig Klein (trombone) were playing in Harry Connick Jr’s big band. While in New York for a gig, Craig was invited to see a Latin Jazz band, which inspired him and Mark to create a group focused on brass and the trombone. Shortly thereafter, they created a band which included trombones, a sousaphone, a guitarist and a drummer. The first show they ever played together was at Tipitina’s’ old location in New Orleans.
Bonerama released their debut album, Live at the Old Point, in 2001, and it received rave reviews from OffBeat Magazine, Gambit Weekly and The Times-Picayune.
