Herb Armstrong is a jazz band for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Herb Armstrong came up playing the Bourbon Street and French Quarter clubs as a matter of routine, and has shared stages with Bobby Womack, Missy Elliott and the Neville Brothers. He's performed across the United States, including Las Vegas, and now calls Australia home. The show is an interactive floor set built on Zydeco and second line grooves, along with the classic New Orleans repertoire made famous by Louis Armstrong. Herb is backed by his seven piece band, The Royal Street Krewe, which moves from the slow ache of a second line dirge to full Mardi Gras. Corporate clients have included Subaru, Westpac, Watpac and Cisco Systems.

Herb and the band were fantastic, they were really well received and the guests enjoyed getting up and having a dance once the formalities were over. Thank you so much, we are very pleased. Brad was fantastic to deal with as well. Great music and Herb is a great entertainer, very professional.

All went fine on the night. Terry was great with the PA stuff as well.
Coco was excellent.

Everything went really well. Herb was a big hit - not sure if he's used to having his photo taken so much. He was certainly professional all night.
