About The Event
Famous for "knowing more than 2,000 songs,"
trumpeter and vocalist Wendell Brunious boasts a towering musical family tree primarily flowered with trumpets.
He is the son of trumpet master John “Picket” (or “Picky”) Brunious Sr. and Nazimova “Chinee” Santiago, the niece of guitarist/banjoist Willie Santiago.
Both talented and dedicated, Wendell credits some of his early development to having worked with the
Olympia Brass Band under the direction of his cousin, bandleader and saxophonist Harold Dejan.
