‘What would happen if Etta James got together with The Bar-Kays?

Speakeasy is the answer – original contemporary funk songs with soulful vocals, hard grooves and dirty horns. Speakeasy can rock a room like Galactic or sit in the pocket like a laid-back Trombone Shorty. Either way it’s a fun, uplifting experience.

Collectively the members of Speakeasy have played many gigs around Australia, both with live bands like the Funk Buddies and on TV shows like Hey Hey It’s Saturday.
The Band are dropping an extended EP later in 2019.’
