Extraordinary Rendition Band

Trick or treat! ERB is gearing up for our spookiest event of the year, the Halloween Hootenanny parade in Oak Hill! Come on out and do the Monster Mash while we play our tu-bats, trom-skeletons, and sax-o-lanterns.

The wait. The preparation. The warmups. And then the set. Thank you Marion for these great photos of — and before — our main stage performance at HONK!

Early goals for HONK! 2027: Make sure more people know the Rasputin dance!

Attending HONK! takes a tremendous amount of work, and we take our preparation very seriously. But we still don’t take ourselves seriously! Here are some snapshots of the joy of the weekend through our bandmates’ eyes.

A HONKin’ great weekend!

After all the excitement this weekend at HONK!…we’re not done yet! Hope to see you tonight at our hometown festival, PRONK!, to close out an amazing long weekend of music and community!

We love you, PVDfest! Thanks for hanging out with us this weekend.

What a night we had at Lippitt Park! Thank you to the city of Providence for sponsoring our show via the Ely Fund Performing Arts Series, to everyone who came out to dance with us, and to the good folks of Hope and Pawtucket who put up with our making a ruckus on a school night.

Coming this Thursday to a neighborhood park near you…it’s ERB! Thanks to another generous sponsorship from Providence’s municipal Ely Fund program, we will be at Lippitt Park for an open rehearsal on August 27. Come out to hear the music — or sit in and jam with us!

The Block Island Fourth of July parade is one of our favorite ERB traditions. This year we simply could contain our excitement — so we got the party started on the ferry!

Come out to support both ERB and the Boston Legacy FC this Sunday in Pawtucket! Buy your tickets at this special link:

Sure, our official performance at Rhode Island Pride was over at the end of the parade…but on a night as fun as Providence PrideFest, we’re just gonna keep on dancing!

Do these streets belong to the people? Si, si, si…especially during the Providence Pride Parade! Thank you to Rhode Island Pride and the amazing crowds who lined all of downtown for an amazing night!

They say “No Scotland, no party” — and after last night, we understand why! Thank you to the Tartan Army for dancing with us last night!

We dare say that the last time we showed up to play for the Scottish fans...we kilt it. Join us tonight at Hot Club for another fun evening of soccer and sousaphones!

Before and after at the North Kingstown Pride Parade…somehow our smiles are even bigger at the end of a long hot march? Thanks to the kind people of Wickford for a great day!

See you today, North Kingstown!

ERB is ERBusy! A few of the great gigs coming up.

If there’s one thing you can count on with ERB, it’s that we love playing Pride parades. Hope to see you on Sunday for our first one of the month, in North Kingstown!

A few behind the scenes sparkles from today’s beautiful @risd1877.bsky.social graduation. Congratulations to the class of 2026!

UPDATE: Despite our sunny disposition, ERB's Porchfest performance has been canceled. We'll still be around today to support other great musicians, including our friends in Anchors Away and Tin Roof. Hope to see you out there!

The rain can't dampen our spirits for one of our favorite days of the year! Hope to see you this afternoon at Porchfest — whether it's at our set at 2pm, or while watching one of the dozens of other great musicians performing for free in a near neighborhood near you!

Who let the dogs out? We don’t know, but we sure are excited about it! Hope to see you today at the East Greenwich Dog Parade!

ERB is ready to make some raucous musical joy at Providence Porchfest this weekend! Come Electric Slide with us on Saturday, 2 PM at 365 Elmgrove

Our May Day march culminated in a super fun set at Arbeiter Brewing. Thank you @shaybaybayne for capturing part of the party!

“Spontaneous moments of raucous musical joy” is literally the ERB tagline. It’s hard to think of a moment more spontaneous or joyful than this chance encounter with the beautiful newlyweds Summer and Joshua at the Minneapolis Mayday parade last weekend. So glad the SousaCam was rolling!

The @minnehonk.org festival started quietly, but it it did not stay that way.
