The Snappers was formed in early 2006 out of a desire to perform jazz, shuffle and rhythm & blues music. The group brings together members of Melbourne bands The Hoodangers, The Band Who Knew Too Much, The Red Eyes and The Cat Empire. This energetic group features the vocal talents of Ben Gillespie and a host of exciting instrumental soloists propelled by a hard driving rhythm section. The sextet performs original material as well as selections from a broad array of styles from the 20’s through to the modern day.
