Step Back in Time with the Fantastical Sounds of Slips & The F.W.’s!
The Jumpers and Jazz Festival is proud to present the utterly enchanting and wildly whimsical Slips & The F.W.’s – a raucous collective of musical mischief-makers hailing from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Toowoomba.
More than just a band, Slips & The F.W.’s are a whirling whirlwind of Early Blues, Traditional Jazz, and Ragtime revelry, reviving the sounds of the early 1900s through the spirited 1930s with irresistible energy and flair. Their performances are equal parts nostalgic homage and joyful reinvention, channeling the music of jazz pioneers like Clarence Williams, Blind Boy Fuller, and Spencer Williams, among a host of storied greats.
With playful panache and a taste of New Orleans street soul, these fine-tuned time-travelers bring a French Quarter flair to every stage they grace. Expect toe-tapping, finger-snapping, and the spontaneous urge to swing, sway, and smile.
Slips & The F.W.’s don’t just play music – they summon an atmosphere. From vintage attire to infectious grooves, their shows are a feast for the senses and a jubilant celebration of jazz’s roots.
Catch them live at Jumpers and Jazz – and let yourself be swept away!
