Led by Craig Hanson (drums), some of the most exciting voices on Manchester’s music scene come together as the house band any singer would be delighted to have behind them.
The band passes the microphone to those individuals who have singing or MC’ing simply in their blood, focussing on modern Jazz and all of the wonderful genres surrounding and taking influence from it.
Put your usual backing track of a pair of headphones away as tonight you have a top class house band there to jam your favourite track, with you under the spotlight. You don’t even have to have a particular song in mind, just give the band an idea of the vibe and see where the beat takes you. The house band will remain on stage for the entirety of the evening, meaning that all singers and vocalists have the opportunity to join them and perform.
Reminiscent of the infamous after-dark downtown NYC jam nights, this is a unique opportunity in Manchester where vocalists are the centre of attention. In the audience you can expect to have some special guests of the band to be invited on stage, some familiar faces from the MCR music scene, and of course a very supportive audience. Who knows, by the end of the night you may have even formed a band…
Kick back with a smile on your face while listening to a classic track you had forgotten how much you loved, or listening to a track that neither you nor anyone else has heard before…
