Text Box: New Orleans’ Grammy-nominated Hot 8 Brass Band will accompany the release of their fifth album, ‘On The Spot’ (due out late March – promos coming in the New Year), with an extensive tour including their biggest London headline yet at The Roundhouse as well as key spots across Europe, Australasia and North America.
Stirring up excitement ahead of the album and tour, lead single “Working Together”/“Keepin’ It Funky” (out 16th Dec) has been gaining support including Jamie Cullum (BBC R2), Garth Trinidad (KCRW) and Craig Charles (BBC R2/6Music). The latter tastemaker also stars in the new “Keepin’ It Funky” video, which sees him leading the crowd of revellers in a raucous Hot 8 parade performance on London’s Clapham Common. Wherever they are, Hot 8 bring the unique, undiluted energy of the New Orleans Second Line parades.
One of the great New Orleans acts, Hot 8’s incredible, life-affirming tale of tragedy and triumph shines through in their powerful, party-starting music – making them an in-demand band for sessions, interviews and appearances across the world’s media as well as a huge hit with fans all over the world.
Look out for another new video, for “Working Together”, ahead of the single release date next week!
