10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TOUR7:00PM DOORS
7:30PM STARTS
Delighting audiences with their enormous repertoire of own songwriting and arrangements, The Easy Rollers are a septet who embody the famed spirit and consummate virtuosity of today’s booming British jazz scene and bring it straight back to the music’s roots in 1920s and ’30s Harlem, Kansas City and New Orleans. Released in 2025, their critically acclaimed album ‘… And Another Thing’ – spun on BBC Radio 3 and praised internationally for its “craft, strong ensemble work, and a clear passion” (Jazz In Europe) – was launched in London at a sold-out PizzaExpress Live. In 2026, The Easy Rollers celebrate their 10th anniversary, embarking on their most high-profile UK tour yet.
Fronted by the captivating Dani Sicari, whose time-machine of a voice is evocative of early greats like Helen Kane and Ruth Etting, The Easy Rollers have long established a reputation for delivering performances that channel the in-the-moment dynamism of the Jazz Age at the height of its cultural grandeur. Arising from their love of the tradition, they take pride in marrying a conscientious approach to authenticity with their mission of ensuring this effervescent era of jazz is never presented merely as a nostalgic museum piece.
The band cut its teeth performing Jazz Festivals including Manchester, Cheltenham, Brecon and Marsden, as well as Buxton International Festival, Lake District Summer Music Festival, and Edinburgh Festival Fringe where their widely acclaimed, lingo-slinging, all-singing-and-dancing cabaret show was formed with annual residencies. The Easy Rollers’ previous UK tour included their RNCM Concert Hall debut and sold-out returns to Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room, Clonter Theatre, Peggy’s Skylight and Toulouse Lautrec.
They not only keep the spirit of the Jazz Age alive but also enrich it with a contemporary freshness […] familiar and innovative at the same time – Jazzism
