On 20th April the Sunshine Coast Jazz Club is excited to be bringing again to the Sunshine Coast Slips & The F.W.’s. This Band was a great success when they appeared for the Club in April 2024, and for this upcoming event will be joined by an additional member, Zoe Atkinson on Trombone.
Slips & The F.W.'s are a whimsical, whirling whirlwind of wily musicians from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Toowoomba. This cadre of audacious auditory artisans dare to rekindle the long-forgotten embers of Early Blues, Traditional Jazz, and Ragtime relics from the labyrinthine epochs spanning the 1900s through the tumultuous 1930s. But, pray tell, this is no ordinary aural escapade. Tangled in tunes, their sonic sorcery draws inspiration from legendary luminaries such as Clarence Williams, Blind Boy Fuller, and Spencer Williams among a myriad of others.
Tantalisingly transporting a taste of New Orleans, they friskily frolic, flinging forth flavourful favourites and feisty figments, fusing in their fanciful formation, frothing a flavour of far-flung French Quarter flair wherever their feet may fancy.
