Southside Hotshots

Victoria, Australia

We are a jazz band which plays hot, foot tapping good time jazz to brighten up the atmosphere of such events as vintage or classic car shows, street festivals or shopping centres and private parties or functions.

We don’t need a power point and so we are free to rove around if required. The basic band line up consists of one front line instrument (trumpet, clarinet or sax), banjo and tuba. Sometimes we use a sousaphone instead of tuba. This is a rather large brass instrument which always attracts a lot of attention. Three piece is usually adequate but we can easily add a washboard, drums or more front line depending on the situation. And you can still hear yourself talk.

The band dresses in black and white with waistcoats and bowties. We are all fully professional musicians, therefor we are normally available day or night.
