The Hot Rock Brass Band is inspired by the New Orleans brass band tradition, with great rhythms and spontaneous moments of joy!
The musicians respond to each other as they play, creating riffs, highs and lows, exciting solos and fabulous grooves.
Leading jazz musicians from in and around London, each with their own style, combine together to give the band its own individual sound. The band is all about spontaneity, energy, interaction and fun. Described as a band that “is totally impossible not to enjoy”, The Hot Rock Brass Band has been inspiring people of all ages and tastes at clubs, arts centres and festivals across the UK.
They play their own arrangements of popular songs, classic New Orleans repertoire, interpretations of music from other genres as well as songs composed by members of the band.
Ideal for a summer party, as an acoustic line-up, or if you want the band as more of a centre-piece we can bring PA, and include vocals.
Available Line-ups:
Typical line-up: Drums, tuba and four horns.
Parade Line-up: As above with an extra drummer.
Smaller line-up: For short gigs or in small venues the band can function as a five piece.
Based in North London

The musicians that make up the band have all toured the world, some have played on big stages to thousands, some of us have had original works performed in major concert halls, but we are a group of friends who are professional musicians that like entertaining people whatever the event. Some of our most memorable gigs have been playing to a small group of people helping to make a special occasion that little bit more special.
We are all jazz musicians influenced by many of the great icons of jazz, and also by the other musicians we play with. We are continually learning. Hot Rock Brass is obviously hugely influenced by bands from New Orleans.
We are all professional freelance musicians who have been gigging with hundreds of other musicians and bands over our lives.
We enjoy playing wherever we are valued and appreciated.
