Influences: Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Kid Ory
Brothers Ben Martyn (vocals, bass) and Emile Martyn (drums) play New Orleans-style jazz with a swinging, dance-floor energy. Raised in New Orleans among local musicians, they bring authentic second-line rhythms and classic jazz repertoire to their London-based shows. Emile has played both the Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Stadium on consecutive days, and the band has performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
