Steve Lands is a New Orleans trumpeter, composer, and bandleader whose nearly twenty-year career has taken him from the stages of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to tours with Maroon 5 and PJ Morton. His 2025 album Rearranging the Planets — an Afrofuturist reimagining of Gustav Holst’s seven-movement orchestral suite, performed by a thirteen-piece all-star New Orleans ensemble — premiered at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and has been described by audiences as an otherworldly experience. At Good Measure, Lands brings that same ambition to an intimate room.
Hailing from the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Steve has been swaying stages, clubs, bars, Museums, Houses-of-worship, and studios the world over for almost 2 decades now. He’s got the kind of skill that can only be gained from both a truly curious mind and from working with great artists from all walks of life! From holding down a residency in Las Vegas playing trumpet for the chart-topping long-running band Maroon 5, doing festivals with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and tours through Europe with French bassist Selene Saint Aime to studio sessions with the Black Keys, jamming in DC with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, playing in big bands with Ellis, Jason, Branford, and Delfeayo Marsalis, and doing a tribute to David Bowie with Arcade Fire! Courage and care are his motivation for Music and he’s got more than enough of both to give you a sonic fantasy.
