About Ocean Avenue Stompers

Ian Gray of Ocean Avenue Stompers

Band Leader

We do it all: We want say we do it all - but let’s stick to what we’re really good at here: Custom Wedding Band DJ + Live Band Hybrid feat. DJ Gray on trombone + drums + the Stompers horns New Orleans-style Brass Band - perfect to surprise your guests with live music at the end of your ceremony, cocktail hour, during the reception, after party. This band can be acoustic - meaning it can go anywhere remote like the beach / woods, doesn't need electric, etc! Ocean Avenue Stompers Horns - Check us out with Start Making Sense: a Talking Heads Tribute, Dogs in a Pile on youtube!

Our members have played with most of the wedding bands on the Jersey Shore, so most importantly, we know what works! We're here to make sure we're playing what you want to hear versus being stuck to do the thing we do. We LOVE New Orleans music, and we think that upbeat, positive sound is a perfect way to do something different at your wedding. We're completely open to you dialing that from 1 - stick to less NOLA and more pop / weddings tunes to 5 - bring us to New Orleans and let's party! We like to think we can provide anything you can imagine and love to take your ideas / directions and run with it together.

    The stompers are a fantastic band and Ian was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend them without any hesitation. They put out a great vibe, know how to read the room and keep the party going! Two years later and guests are still talking about the band and how much fun our wedding was as well as inquiring about them for their next event.

  • Best of the best!
