In the last four years, LowDown has also stayed busy in the studio, releasing three albums, The Reel Sessions, LowDown Nights, and $itizens of the World, which showcase their unique sound and further push the boundaries of their blended genres. Leaning on their Chicago roots and unconventional style, LowDown Brass Band continues to carve out a path, defying convention and charting their own course in the ever-evolving landscape of music.
