Hot Potato Band

Hot Potato Band's larger-than-life brass collective is a breath of fresh air with a focus on setting the bar for energetic and interactive musical performances. With two studio albums under their belts, they continue to explore the sonic possibilities of acoustic instrumentation. Finding home in Sydney, Australia, they have spent the last 10 years independently curating and touring shows across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the Middle East. HPB is unbound by genres, stages and audiences. They have reinvented the traditional brass band as a modern day dance machine and visual spectacle to complement their strong sense of pride for their fun-loving, organic, and quirky musical nature.

Horns of Leroy

Formed in 2013, Melbourne's Horns of Leroy have become one of the country's premier brass bands. Inspired by the sounds of New Orleans and fused with the energy of the Melbourne streets, the group has earned themselves a reputation for delivering raucous shows built on strong foundations and insatiable energy.

A staple on the local and national music circuits, Horns of Leroy have been performed hundreds of shows that have seen the band grace stages everywhere from The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to Splendour in the Grass; from Dark Mofo to the hallowed Hamer Hall and Adelaide Cabaret Festival.

Their grand sounds have been heard nationally and on different platforms. Whether it's been Melbourne's iconic White Night or the renowned Melbourne International Jazz Festival, through to the Queenscliff Music Festival, Falls Festival and Strawberry Fields, the appeal of a group like Horns of Leroy has proven time and time again to be wide ranging.
