Alligator Gumbo are a 7 piece New Orleans jazz band from Leeds, who have been playing together since 2011. Having played extensively around the country, and often packed out Matt & Phred’s, we can’t wait to see them again.
A gig with Alligator Gumbo sees jazz from the hey-day of the New Orleans swing/jazz era, when music was raw and largely improvised with melodies and solos happening simultaneously which has now become defined as the 'New Orleans' sound.
As well as the band’s unique and fast-tempo treatment of the classic tunes, Alligator Gumbo take this distinctive style and apply it to their arrangements of more modern and popular songs which everyone will recognise and happily head to the dance floor upon hearing.

Born and raised in Dallas Texas, Andrew picked up the piano and started gigging at the age of 14. By 21, they were delighting audiences on several different cruise ships, before eventually settling down and relocating to Manchester.
Combining a gravely low voice with raw foot-stomping Americana, you can expect an enthusiastic performance of American and British classics, as well as songs you never thought you'd hear on the keys. With interwoven mashups, oftentimes thought of spontaneously, prepare to let loose and hear an anarchic mix of songs in a dynamic anything-goes piano vocal performance.
Plus it’s HAPPY HOUR 5-6:30pm… Buy 2 selected drinks and get a whole FREE PIZZA, or get 2 house cocktails for £14!
