We are thrilled to welcome this powerhouse band back to Matt & Phred’s tonight… All the way from AUSTRALIA!

Steve Hensby Band are splitting at the seams with an assault to the musical senses with elements of funk, soul, ska, world, a sprinkle of psychedelia and a dash of folk. The 9-piece ensemble is regular in the WA festival circuit and  features a healthy sized horn section. It has been said that they are very danceable!

Steve Hensby is a Berklee College of Music graduate and West Australian Music Industry  award winning musician who also works as a session player in the Perth area. He has played with the likes of Jackson Browne, Tim Minchin, John Cleary, Steve Poltz, Randy Feltface, WASO, Perth Symphony Orchestra and Taasha Cootes.

Tonight, expect Funk and Soul music with a whole load of dancing going on... From Prince, to Aretha Franklin, to Curtis Mayfield and very far beyond!

Line Up: Steve (Guitar/Vocals), Elysia (Keys/Vocals), Dylan (Tenor Sax), Will (Trombone), Joe (Bass Guitar), Greg (Drums)

*VIP Stage-Side Tables: Here you have the best experience of the band, plus full table service. Standing audience members are kept in the bar area for Set 1; the dance floor (in front of the stage-side tables) opens for Set 2 - you get first dibs to show off your moves!
