Funk royalty and pioneers of the 90’s Acid Jazz scene, The Brand New Heavies, will return to Australia next February. Their unique mix of jazz, funk and soul will light up audiences as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of their iconic album, ‘Brother Sister’.
Melbourne fans will be able to catch them at Hamer Hall on Saturday 15 February 2025.
Released in 1994, The Brand New Heavies third album ‘Brother Sister’ changed everything for the band. Propelled by the classic singles ‘Dream On Dreamer’, ‘Midnight At The Oasis’ and ‘Back To Love’, the record achieved huge success (a No. 4 UK chart position, over one million sales and a BRIT nomination) as they cemented their position as the spearheads of Acid Jazz.
Still sounding as fresh and timeless as it did back then, The Brand New Heavies celebrate the album’s 30th anniversary with the announcement of the ‘Brother Sister 30’ Tour.
Featuring original members Andrew Levy and Simon Bartholomew with the phenomenal vocalist Angela Ricci, the tour will see The Brand New Heavies perform ‘Brother Sister’ in full alongside other hits and fan favourites from their storied history with a complete live band.
In a statement, the band said, “We can’t believe that Brother Sister is going to be 30 years young! What better way to celebrate than coming to see us play the album in its entirety as well as all our hits.”
