6161

  • Sunday | 08.02.26
  • 7.30pm
  • Band on the Wall, Manchester

Having built a solid reputation as a drummer over the years, Matt Stockham Brown presents his new original project ‘6161′ – A fierce drum led, brass heavy, alt jazz experience for the 21st century.

A former member of Run Logan Run (with whom he won the prestigious Montreux Festival Award in 2019), Matt has also recorded and performed for an eclectic range of artists, including Massive Attack, Rodriguez, This Is The Kit, Paraorchestra, Gregory Porter, Liz Lawrence, Cloth, Get The Blessing, Marc Ford, Squirrel Flower, Ghostpoet, and Cosmo Sheldrake.

His debut LP ‘6161’ is a sonic tapestry woven from grief, transformation, and the reclamation of identity where jazz-infused drum fills dance alongside bold brass lines, illuminating kaleidoscopic, soulful grooves that pulse with raw emotion. Born from a journey filled with challenges, Matt channels his love for brass, reeds, and the interplay of acoustic and electronic sounds: music that inhabits the untamed outskirts of genre.

“As tense as a Bernard Herrmann Score, Filmmakers take note”. – Mojo Magazine

“Its a remarkable achievement to have made a sound that sits comfortably with so many strands, settling into its own style with assurance” – Jazzwise
