About / Biography

Comprised of 3 saxophones and a bespoke portable drum kit, Hero Horns delivers a unique blend of improvised groove music and covers. Originally formed as a street busking band, this young energetic and talented act endeavours to move the raw electricity of live street performance to stages and events. A perfect addition to any occasion, Hero Horns offer a complete covers set full of hard hitters that will get heads turning and guests dancing. They move seamlessly between songs, drawing from all time classics, 90’s floor fillers, and modern day hits to springboard into exciting improvisations. Whether it’s marching wedding guests down an aisle, entertainment for a drinks reception, or providing walk on stings for an award ceremony, Hero Horns are incredibly versatile and adaptable to the situation at hand.
They are available as a stage performance or an acoustic roaming band, which can be completely mobile while playing. This allows performances to take place in a
plethora of exciting scenarios.

For larger-scale events, Hero Horns can also be connected to a P.A. system, and their wireless microphone set up still allows for a great deal of mobility. Please
enquire for any further details and to find out what we can bring to your event.

Together and individually they have played at venues such as Wembley Stadium, The O2, NIA Birmingham, The Royal Albert Hall, The Union Chapel, the Southbank centre,
and main stages at Shambala, Bestival, and Boomtown festivals. Members have performed alongside artists including Beverley Knight, Peter Andre, Lee Ryan and
Beardyman.The band is comprised of baritone, tenor and alto saxophones, as well as a one of a kind customised portable drum kit, and are equally as powerful whether roaming or performing on any sized stage.

Lineup: percussion and 3 saxophones (baritone, tenor and alto saxophones). Sometimes 2 saxophones and a trumpet/trombone if a regular member is unavailable.
