Twilight is an original New Orleans Traditional Brass Band spearheaded by New Orleans native Harold "Homeboy" Wilson. As a bass drummer-percussionist and entertainer, "Homeboy" was born and raised in the Historical Tremé, 6th Ward, New Orleans, and has a historical legacy that ties deeply with keeping the New Orleans tradition alive. The fifth generation of Brass Band Performers, "Homeboy," is the Great Grandson of Henry Booker T. Glass, one of the last musicians whose development pre-dated the Dixieland style of the early 1900s. As a pioneer of New Orleans' Traditional Brass Band music, Glass was an innovator that consolidated extraordinary talent that comprised the best New Orleans Musicians of that time. Booker T. Glass organized the first Black Musician Union for Preservation Hall. As an incredibly powerful bass drummer and bandleader, he performed with New Orleanians such as Louis Armstrong and Mahalia Jackson

CUSTOM MADE UMBRELLAS
Harold Wilson, is a fifth-generation New Orleanian and the great-grandson of the late Booker T. Glass, one of the pioneers of brass band music in New Orleans. Harold custom makes each umbrella according to the customer's theme request.
The African American community originally created second-line umbrellas for sun protection as they danced on the streets of New Orleans following brass bands celebrating weddings, birthdays, and funerals.
Each umbrella tells a story and presents its own personality to express the theme or occasion.
Harold is passionate about keeping the traditions alive during brass band performances and allowing others to have that experience with the umbrellas.
