Motor City Brass Band is Michigan’s first competitive British style brass band, annually participating in the North American Brass Band Association or US Open Championships in addition to performing a full schedule of subscription and community performances. MCBB is directed by Craig Strain who generates a strong synergy throughout the band in every musical genre. Under Craig’s skillful direction the individual talent of even the finest player is often exceeded in context of the ensemble as a whole. Craig’s most sensitive interpretations in both his arrangements and conducting has won the heart of both player and listener alike. But don’t take our word for it, come out and see for yourself! Check and see when the band’s next performances will be.

Motor City Brass Band is fortunate to have Craig Strain as its Musical Director and Conductor. Craig received a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Performance and Political Science and a Bachelor of Music Education as well as a Masters Degree in Music Composition and Trumpet from Eastern Michigan University. Following an extensive career in teaching which included high school, community college and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, Craig is currently performing and arranging music, owner and operator of a 24 track digital recording studio, directing and/or leading several musical organizations.

Under the direction of one of this area's finest band directors the Motor City Youth Brass Band is entering its second season. The Youth Band will follow in the same British brass band traditions that have made Motor City Brass Band so unique and successful.
