Red hot swinging 
jazz & blues

Experiencing the red hot swinging jazz and blues with Melody Graves and the Hokum Redemption is like stepping out in old-time New Orleans where the feet are stomping to the snappy beat and the blues are as sultry as a smokey bar. 

This six-piece Brisbane-based outfit are renowned for their musicianship, energetic live shows and authentic sound.

Featuring not one but two vocalists, a sliding trombone, the rattle of the washboard, the sweetest sounding swing guitar this side of the Pacific, and a rhythm section to boot that's always on time. 

​

You'll also find the band's little sister playing in quartet mode with vocals, guitar, double bass and drums as Melody Graves Combo.

“Well, it is certainly a name that won’t be forgotten here at the Brisbane Jazz Club. With their slick musicianship, they had us chair-dancing all the way through two sets of toe-tappin’, high-steppin’ songs, from a long list of revered and much-loved greats. They moved and amused us with their ringing, heart-felt vocals and blew us away with those skilled, driving solos”.
