Monica and the Moochers are still doing what they do best. An 8 piece band, they guarantee to bring any event to life with their infectious blend of forties and fifties swing with a little bit of Latin thrown in. Great for larger gatherings of 100 plus people, just make sure you’ve got a dance floor ready.
Boasting Sydney’s best known jazz and Latin musicians, Monica and her band transports the audience back to the big, bold and brassy sounds of the 40’s, 50’s & 60’s Latin New York.

This unique experience showcases the golden era of the Latin and Jazz genres with a full Latin line up of brass and percussion to get you cha-cha-chaing and mamboing ‘til late into the night
