Paris Texas
Jazz/Funk/Swing Band
"Hearing is believing and believing is what they do"
Combining elements of Swing ,Funk ,Blues & Jazz- Paris Texas are a band for all occasions.
Fronted by Gabrielle O,Shannessy on bass & vox with Mick Porter on guitar and David Breeze on guitar & bass this is one seriously funk driven unit.Playing classic standards as well as personal favourites they throw in some world class originals to round out 1 of Cairns's most exciting addition to the live music arena.Forming in early 08 they have played just about every venue in Cairns and played some very high end gigs as well, a testament to their professionalism and desire to push their art to the highest level,after hearing these two guys and a gal you would think that they had played together for eternity.
