The band Dupont Brass started unexpectedly as a side gig for a group of Howard University students, and now they’re about to go on tour, starting April 12. As they prepare to share their music up and down the East Coast, two of the band’s original members are here to tell us about Dupont Brass’s evolution and sound.
