All-star funk and groovy melodic landscapes

If you’re up for a night of music that’ll inspire and excite with a live intensity, then look no further.

Since their inception, The Subterraneans have been heralded as Sydney’s go-to band for a thrilling fusion of jazz, funk and rock.

From humble beginnings, Brekky Boy made a bold entrance onto the international stage – championing their spot as the house band the Montreaux Jazz Festival. For this performance, band leader Taylor Davis will premiere a new lineup, which features National Jazz Award-winning drummer Alex Hirlian.

Both bands are a staple of the Sydney jazz scene, if you haven’t seen their animated live shows then don’t miss this energetic night of music.
