Kermit Ruffins
Ruffins began playing the trumpet in the eighth grade, and he hasn't been able to put it down since. In the early 1980s, he co-founded the Rebirth Brass Band on the streets of the Treme neighborhood, where they eventually became the house band at the Glass House in New Orleans. Known for always cooking barbeque at his shows, Ruffins founded the Barbeque Swingers in 1993, a group that has played at popular bars all over the Big Easy. The show's creator, David Simon, consulted with Ruffins as he developed the series.
