Meet the 'Bilks
Hot stepping out from their local Canberra speakeasy, Zackerbilks are spreading their love of trad jazz to the world. Join them on a high-energy musical journey, that travels from the turn of the century to the 1940s. Dressed to impress, this dapper eight-piece group will have your toes tapping as they play a mix of trad to modern with a vintage twist.
Sultry vocals, bold brass, wicked woodwinds and a rollicking rhythm section will have your knees up in no time. Shine your shoes, put your glad rags on and get ready to quickstep back in time as Zackerbilks take over the stage.
Meet the members of Zackerbilks. If you see any of these raucous revellers on stage, you know that you're in for a tasty time!
