In the "legitimate realm" the NRB has guest starred with dozens of symphony orchestras from East to West, including the North Carolina Symphony, the Erie and Harrisburg (Pennsylvania) Symphonies; the Grand Rapids and International Symphonies of Michigan; the Elgin (Illinois) Symphony; and the Odessa Symphony in Midland, Texas.

The universal popularity enjoyed by the NRB emanates from its versatile and talented gang of seven musicians, all of whom contribute instrumentally, vocally, and humorously. There are no wallflower introverts allowed in this eclectic mix of musical masterminds, and audiences delight in the spontaneous combustion of repartee and music produced by these guys. Featuring the founding Oppermann Brothers and five 'superstar' sidemen, these seven friendly fellows, whose enthusiasm and wit is ever present, provide an entertainment experience most memorable.
