HOT 8 BRASS BAND
Drawing on the traditional jazz heritage of their hometown of New Orleans, the Hot 8 Brass Band are renowned for including elements of funk, hip hop, rap, and its local variation, “bounce” in their music. The collective earned a win in the 64th Annual Grammy Awards 2022 for their feature on John Batiste’s ‘Album of The Year', following the nomination of their ‘The Life & Times Of…’ LP for ‘Best Regional Roots Album’ in 2013.
Transcending genres and trends, Hot 8 have performed and collaborated with the likes of Jon Batiste, Blind Boys of Alabama, Basement Jaxx and Alice Russell, and provided live support for Mos Def, Lauryn Hill and Mary J Blige. Since forming they have established a decade-long affiliation with actor/BBC 6Music DJ Craig Charles, among other tastemakers, DJs and journalists worldwide. After a festive appearance Live at Maida Vale for Lauren Laverne (BBC 6 Music), the Hot 8 Brass Band performed for Jools Holland's annual Hootenanny on BBC Two to welcome in 2019. Later that year, after taking to the stage at the BRIT awards in February, Hot 8 Brass Band were invited on the European leg of George Ezra’s tour.

THE WILEY FOSTERS
The Wiley Fosters are a 7-piece band from Durham, North Carolina that was formed in 2010 by William Dawson (Turntables / Guitar). The group plays upbeat, funky instrumental music that builds upon a breakbeat foundation with rhythmic complement by Ajay Dholakia (Tabla) & Robert Cantrell (Percussion). Ellye Walsh (Flutes) spits out vicious visions emulating the late & great Herbie Mann, while Bill Newton (Harmonicas / Saxophones) brings a bluesy & soulful sensibility. Danny Spiegel (Rhodes / Mellotron Micro) uses his breadth of experience in classical & new music to allow a wider range of music for the group. Contemplating the low end theory is Dan Clouse (Tuba), whose musical doctoral depth dive bombs the deep end. The group is currently in the studio working on their upcoming latest LP.
