Eric’s gets hot and brassy as the Hot 8 fly in to Liverpool with their gumbo funk and hip hop mixed in with authentic New Orleans street band flavours.

The Hot 8 Brass Band is the world-renowned New Orleans based brass band that blends hip-hop, jazz and funk styles with traditional New Orleans brass sounds with stunning results.

“Get your dancing shoes ready” The Independent

Playing New Orleans clubs and traditional jazz funerals and street marches, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Hot 8 Brass Band was propelled into the international spotlight by an appearance in Spike Lee’s film When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts. Since then the band has toured the world with their authentic and totally unique New Orleans street sound. Famous for their blistering, high energy performances – expect them to tear the roof off of the venue at this much-anticipated visit.

Presented by Band on the Wall in association with Root Music. Supported by Arts Council England.
