The Hornstars. 9 piece. Funky. Danceable. Quirky (have you seen that video?) and 2025 is their 10th year together. While they may not take themselves too seriously, they are serious about creating a funky good time. The Hornstars are regulars on the Melbourne music scene. As well as packing out local venues, the Hornstars have proven themselves on bigger stages with opening slots for Ska legends The Allniters at the Corner Hotel, Disco Superstars Boney M at the Palais Theatre, and feature slots at the St Kilda Blues and Eltham Jazz Festivals. It's little wonder The Hornstars were dubbed "a big band with a big future" by AMRAP's Cameron Mengenoni.
Setup
The Hornstars sound is big, brassy and bold. The lineup is fronted by the charismatic Clancy Cullen a jazz-trained vocalist with undeniable stage presence. The horn section - Daniel Bardan (trumpet), Bruce Cousins (trombone), Russell B Myers (tenor sax) adds the sass and dance moves that only live horns can bring. The rhythm section - Joey Mount (drums), Mike Holloway (bass), Peter Bonett (keys), Gareth Durant (guitar) and Eric Morand (alto sax and percussion) drive the funky beat.
