First formed by Bennie PeteJerome Jones, and Harry Cook in 1995, Hot 8 have performed and collaborated with a wide range of artists, from Lauryn Hill and Alice Russell to Mos Def to the Blind Boys of Alabama.

They released their first studio album ‘Rock with The Hot 8′ in 2007 after getting signed by Tru Thoughts Records and were nominated for a Grammy in 2013 for their second album ‘The Life and Times Of…’.

Hot 8 Brass Band have always believed in contributing to their culture by playing in traditional Second Line parades, expressions of freedom and community through music and interaction. They have earned a great reputation on the streets, with seemingly boundless work ethic and energy: Hot 8 have been known to pack in nine shows in a single day!
