The Hoochers
The Hoochers are Funkafide Blues masters, delivering gritty blues, deep grooves, and high-energy funk that demands movement. Based in the Northern Rivers, the band blends blues at its core with funk, soul, rock, swing, and jazz-infused improvisation to create a sound built for festival stages.
Driven by a powerful lineup of bass, drums, guitar, and vocals, The Hoochers elevate their sound with an electrifying horn section featuring trumpet, saxophone, trombone, flute, and the rhythmic heat of congas. Each member is a seasoned multi-instrumentalist with over 30 years of professional experience, allowing the band to move effortlessly between genres while maintaining a tight, infectious groove they call “Funkafide Blues.”
Renowned for their high-energy live shows, The Hoochers blend reimagined classics with soul-soaked originals, delivering toe-tapping rhythms, dancefloor boogies, and feel-good funk-blues that keep audiences moving from the first note to the final encore.
