After a busy workshop and events program in Gunnedah here’s your chance to see the Hot Potato Band at a free community concert event celebrating their residency in Gunnedah!
Hot Potato Band’s larger-than-life brass collective is a breath of fresh air with a focus on setting the bar for energetic and interactive musical performances. With two studio albums under their belts, they continue to explore the sonic possibilities of acoustic instrumentation. Finding home in Sydney, Australia, they have spent the last 10 years independently curating and touring shows across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the Middle East. HPB’s music transcends genres, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere at every show. They have reinvented the traditional brass band as a modern day dance machine and visual spectacle to complement their strong sense of pride for their fun-loving, organic, and quirky musical nature.
