An explosive celebration of music unfolds when the force of a dozen horn players, a mean rhythm section and multiple percussion, keys and vocalists hit the stage to make the powerhouse that is Melbourne Ska Orchestra.
Conducted by the charismatic and energetic Nicky Bomba, the ARIA Award-winning group never does anything by half measures.
Not only does the band at times perform with up to 35 members on stage, but it also records and releases material at break-neck speed.
Paying respect to the Jamaican sound system phenomenon, where artists would record and release new tracks on a weekly basis, MSO committed to doing the same in 2018.
The band’s unique take on the genre of ska has wowed audiences all over the world, and will wow locals with its Sunday afternoon set at Riverboats 2022.
