Free Agents Brass Band is an Atlanta, Georgia, United States group, formed by a rotating line-up of New Orleans ex-pats in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

They saw success with their track We Made It Through That Water, which featured both diagetically and on the released soundtracks of the show Treme, as well as the major feature documentary Trouble the Water.
