Cope Street Parade 

They blend spicy rhythms with unique song-writing that span the genres of jazz, folk, pop, gypsy and swing. With tender ballads and rollicking dance numbers they capture the spirit and warmth of early music styles and cheekily blur the lines between the contemporary and the classic. Influences include Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Father John Misty and Leadbelly. The hot sounds of gypsy swing mixed with elements of New Orleans traditional jazz meld together to create a style of music that sounds both new and old yet always uniquely Australian. Think if Django Reinhardt met Louis Armstrong in a good old country pub.

The Cope Street Parade have performed at major music festivals and venues across Australia, such as the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz, Sydney Festival, Bellingen Winter Festival, Manly Jazz Festival, Jazzgroove Summer Festival. In 2018 and 2019 they toured Europe, each year performing 25 concerts in Italy as well as concerts in Germany. The band has also been lucky enough to collaborated with Lulo Reinhardt, Peter Horsfall, Christa Hughes, Dan Barnett, Geoff Bull, Bob Henderson and Bob Barnard. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2010 and since then they have released seven albums to rave reviews and captivated audiences across Australia and the world.
