Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band

Raunchy circus roots. Polished precision performances. A joyful cacophony of Balkan, Klezmer and funk, with a tasteful thrash of metal thrown in for good measure. No matter the occasion, Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band has got the brass to get you up and dancing. Some whisper in hushed tones that ENSMB is the ultimate herald of mirthful discord, while others have gone mad at the mere mention of the name. It’s music shrouded in mystery and wicked intrigue. But there’s one thing we know for sure: Dance! Party! Vibes! Better come see for yourself Horns will wail. Shoulders will shimmy. Faces will melt. In our 18 year history, ENSMB has played every kind of show or event you can imagine; bars, music festivals, street fairs, weddings, community events, fundraiser galas, fandom conventions, house parties, large music venues, and porchfests. We have shared the stage with amazing bands such as Soul Rebels, Gogol Bordello, Balkan Beat Box, Dresden Dolls, Slavic Soul Party, World/Inferno Friendship Society, Too Many Zoos, Antibalas, Red Baraat, and many others.
