Batiste Brothers Band

The Batiste Brothers Band L.L.C. is the south's original funk, soul, rock, jazz and R & B group. In 1984, Paul Batiste wrote the song "New Orleans Music" to promote the gumbo style personality of a city‘s music. In addition, the band has toured in Japan, Europe and other foreign countries. Therefore, for professional, courteous and prompt service with well traveled musicians, the Batiste Brothers Band is the brand name you can count on. When it comes to music, Batiste is the name you know. Paul started the Batiste Brothers Band in 1976 to honor his mother and father. Estella and John Batiste Sr., the parents of seven boys. The band is named after the seven brothers-for the love and dedication their parents put into them.

We are also available for main or opening act for major concert venues. We have opened for the likes of George Clinton and we have opened on the Acura Stage (which is the same stage ZZ TOP closed on) for Jazz Fest 2007. Additionally, we are well known on the convention seen. The BBB performed at the 10th anniversary of the Convention Center.
