Melody Graves and the Hokum Redemption
Channelling the spirit of old New Orleans with red-hot swing, early jazz, blues, and irresistible groove.
With smoky vocals, snapping washboard, bright horn lines, and a rhythm section built for dancing, the band delivers a show that is bold, playful, and full of energy. Vintage in spirit but fresh in performance, their sound moves effortlessly from street-parade exuberance to dance-hall charm and late-night blues.
Expect toe-tapping rhythms, rich musicianship, and a joyful celebration of jazz led by vocalist and washboard percussionist Paula Hackney and a seven-piece Meanjin-based ensemble featuring some of South-East Queensland’s finest jazz musicians.
