Tim Voutas (Keys)
Anthony Dodos (Trombone)
Bronton Ainsworth (Drums)
Sam Markham (Double Bass)
Louis Rebeiro (Guitar and Sax)
The band’s repertoire is rooted in the Jazz and Rhythm & Blues music of the 40’s and 50’s, from artists such as Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, Sammy Davis Junior, Harry Connick Junior, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry and The Blues Brothers. They also include a large library of Adam Hall originals and unique arrangements, which can be found on their seven albums.
