Whaling City Sound

Whaling City Sound Founded in 1999, we aim for innovative musicianship, impeccable recording quality, professional packaging for listeners of all types

Since its inception in 1999, Whaling City Sound, founded in New Bedford, Mass., has made a point of providing a viable musical outlet for its abundance of outstanding local musicians. From the beginning, WCS aimed for innovation, impeccable sound, and the kind of professional packaging that captures the sound and feel of each recording. These recordings have, in turn, helped its roster of musician

s earn international recognition, and they have put Whaling City Sound on the short list of small labels synonymous with quality. Its business model is simple: If you like the company’s CDs and purchase them, WCS can continue to make more of the music its listeners love, of equal or even better quality. And let’s face it: life’s too short to not enjoy great music.

NB Roots & Branches 2024 is very excited to have Southcoast Brass Band performing on the Whaling City Sound stage located outdoors on Purchase St this year!

Headed by Dr Michael Rocha, SCBB is a 7-piece brass band dedicated to the traditions of jazz and funk that radiate from New Orleans. There's something about that joyous and soulful New Orleans brass sound that resonates with audiences. We know and see it firsthand - audiences love what we do.

See their scheduled time as well as the time slots for 9 stages of performances made possible through sponsors, grant support from Mass Cultural Council & New Bedford Creative, and the support of our fiscal agent Downtown New Bedford Inc. at:

NB Roots & Branches 2024 is very excited to have Pepe Bana, performing on the Whaling City Sound stage located outdoors on Purchase St this year!

Pepe is a multi-instrumentalist equally skilled on violin, guitar, and cavaquinho as well as a singer, and composer. Born with the surname Martins, his deep and sonorous voice earned him the name "Bana," an allusion and homage to the late great Cape Verdean singer that came before him. Pepe brings deep roots from Cape Verde where he was born, new songs of his own to add to the tradition, and a beat that's guaranteed to get the crowd moving.
