Eamon McNelis Quintet "Big Idiot Club"

Eamon McNelis began playing the trumpet and playing jazz at the age of eight. At the age of 12, he was accepted into the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School. He has supported Branford Marsalis at the Melbourne Concert Hall and recorded with the likes of Amanda Palmer, Tripod, Jen Cloher, and Julie O’Hara, as well as many more.

He is a wonderful singer and storyteller on the trumpet, playing music inspired by the trumpet greats such as Louis Armstrong, Harry Sweets Edison and Buck CLayton.

Beautiful golden tone and wonderful tunes old and new. his performances are a treat to attend.
