HBE are the extraordinary brain child of jazz trumpeter Phil Cochran and his eight sons. Reared on music from when they were mere toddlers the Cochran boys have a unique and versatile range of styles. Collaborating with some of the biggest names in music such as Prince, Mos Def and Ghostface Killah amongst a raft of others. Their live shows are legendary and if you were lucky enough to catch them at the Hare and Hounds last September you’ll know what we mean. Infectious and wild with an electric energy that will get the most reluctant of dance muscles grooving. Every gig is a family reunion and that’s exactly the vibe HBE give, we’re all just one big musical family. DJ Silence will keep the mood smooth and funky until the early hours. Come and join the block party at one of the city’s most exciting new venues, you won’t regret it.
