The Texas Chainsaw Horns (The Kennedy Center)

The Texas Chainsaw Horns

The Texas Chainsaw Horns came together 10 years ago in the suburbs of Northern Va. Members originate from all over the country (Texas, NYC, Puerto Rico, Canada), but now maintain a family/home base in the DC/VA/MD area. The main focus of the band is the tight, five piece horn section led by trumpeter/arranger Tony Murtha whose work has been featured on Disney, Comedy Central’s Colbert Report, Subway, Orange County Choppers, The Washington Nationals and the NFL Super Bowl Half Time Show. With almost a dozen members, the band draws on a wide variety of influences anywhere from Ray Charles and James Brown to ZZ Top and The Tower of Power.
