Music Spoken Here presents Brandon Allen's Groove Band

About

Groove, funk & fusion from a saxophone heavyweight at the height of his powers

We are delighted to welcome Australian/UK saxophonist and composer Brandon Allen to The Marr's Bar with his Groove Band for an evening of groove, funk & fusion influenced by Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Eddie Harris, John Scofield, Tom Scott, David Sanborn and The Brecker Brothers.

Allen, who also heads up the Brandon Allen Quartet / Sextet and The Stanley Turrentine Project, has toured Internationally with the Kyle East band and performed with Eric Clapton, Paloma Faith, Omar Lyefook, Gary Husband, Adam Nussbaum, Stefano Di Battista, Ibrahim Maalouf and numerous others.
