#LadiesKickBrass! The Hoot'n'Annies, Wellington’s all-wāhine second line band, bring electrifying New Orleans jazz, funk, and bold pop covers to the 2025 Wellington Jazz Festival.

Our dynamic brass and percussion ignite the stage, sparking dance and joy. This collective of passionate manawāhine, fresh from Greytown’s Midwinter Festival and a Pink Boots Society collab for International Women’s Day—where Waitoa Brewery’s “Boots’n’Annies” beer stole the show—we’re thrilled to return to the festival.

We’re ready to prove women play brass with power and soul. Join the party and feel the beat!
