Adam Rudegeair’s Bayou Tapestry Swamp Funk Band – Featuring Daimon Brunton

Awesome gig happening tonight at The Paris Cat Jazz Club!! I’m rapt to be playing with Adam Rudegeair’s Bayou Tapestry Swamp Funk band. Other than myself on trumpet the stage will be graced by Justin Ashworth – bass, David Gooey – guitar, John Hunt – bari sax, Adam Rudegeair – piano, Chad Blaster – drums & Henry Manetta – vocals. Ridiculously crazy talented line-up!

DBQ at the Veneto Club this Friday

Fancy checking out some fine, fine jazz for free whilst sitting outside with restaurants 6 feet away? If so, then head on down to the Veneto Club, 191 Bulleen Rd, Bulleen. From 6pm-9pm The Daimon Brunton Quartet will be playing beautiful, classic jazz standards and originals from each of the past 4 DBQ albums. Featuring hard swinging blues’s, stomping funk grooves and smoking, blistering bop tunes it’s going to be a cracking night. Get on down and catch Adam Donaldson on drums, Matt Hayes on bass, Adam Rudegeair on keys and Daimon Brunton on trumpet set the joint on alight.IMG_7255

Huey Long’s This Thursday

Sorry about the confusion with last week but please be assured that Adam Rudegeair and I are on at Huey Long’s this Thursday (tomorrow night). Placed in the back of Po’Boy Quarter at 295 Smith St, Fitzroy, Huey Long’s is a relaxed New Orleans bar kitted out with southern bourbons and beers. On a stage that is far too high sits an upright honky tonk piano. Once Adam lays down some grooves and I make the trumpet hoot, squeak growl and whisper the joint is complete.

Join Adam and I at Huey Long’s tomorrow night from 9pm-11pm. Entry is free. See you there!images
