Trouz Bras (pronounced "True Brazz") means "big noise" in the Celtic language of Brittany, a reference to the loud Breton bagpipes (veuze) that fuel the band's driving sound. They bring traditional Breton dance tunes into the 21st with swirling bagpipes, soaring fiddle and a rocking rhythm section. The band is led by bagpiper and vocalist Ray Price, a native Welshman who has expanded his Celtic roots to become a global ambassador of Breton music and dance.

Member of the band are:

Ray Price - Veuze (Breton pipes), English border bagpipe, electric dulcimer. vocals, dance instruction
Barry Hall - Fiddle, hurdy gurdy, vielle, bouzouki, bombarde (oboe-like woodwind) and vocals
Mance Grady - Bodhrán and djembe
Brian Rost - Bass
Eric Peterson - Egyptian tabla, riq, cajón and berimbau
Sharynne MacLeod NicMhacha - Vocals and woodwinds
