Highlighting their talent, Chris Tanner, hailing from Melbourne, Australia, excels on the clarinet and vocals, bringing a melodious edge and showmanship to the band.

The rhythmic section is anchored by Stefan Andersen from Denmark on drums, known for his second line rhythm, and Kasper Tagel on double bass, adding deep, resonant tones that fuel the band’s vibrant performances.

De fremhæver deres talent, Chris Tanner, fra Melbourne, Australien, excellerer på klarinet og vokal, hvilket bringer en melodisk kant og showmanship til bandet. Jerome Etcheberry fra Frankrig tryllebinder med sin trompet, især i langsommere stykker, der kan fortrylle lytterne. Bandet kan også prale af Niklas Carlsson, en anerkendt trombonespiller fra Sverige og medstifter af Second Line Jazzband.
Fra Nederlandene injicerer Norbert Reijngoud en livlig banjorytme, der minder om Jim McIntosh og George Formbys stilarter. Den rytmiske sektion er forankret af Stefan Andersen fra Danmark på trommer, kendt for sin second line-rytme, og Kasper Tagel på kontrabas, der tilføjer dybe, resonante toner, som brænder bandets levende optrædener. Sammen inkarnerer de essensen og energien i traditionel New Orleans Jazz.
