About / Biography

Chasing the Moon brings classic jazz to life in the spirit of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Cole Porter — from toe‑tapping swing to blues‑soaked ballads and smooth, velvety standards. We can also infuse our sets with gypsy‑jazz energy and Latin flair for that unmistakable Parisian‑café atmosphere.

Our line‑up is available as a six‑piece ensemble featuring female vocals, violin, saxophone/flute, guitar, piano accordion, double bass and drums. The band size and line-up is fully flexible and can be tailored to suit any event, with options for a three, four or five‑piece configuration.

Chasing the Moon has performed extensively at jazz clubs and festivals across Sydney and NSW, as well as at a wide range of private and corporate events. Our engaging stage presence and versatile sound make us a favourite choice for audiences throughout the region.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Our technical requirements will vary according to the gig details and band size but here's a guide.
We provide our own PA equipment up to 200 guests. We just need access to standard power outlets. Stage (performance space) size for a 6-piece band would be 5m x 3m and scales down from there.
Parking access for band members will help the gig to run smoothly.
We're happy to play outdoors, we would just need a hard surface to stand on and overhead cover to protect us from the weather.
For evening performances more than 1.5 hours drive from Sydney we would ask the client to provide accommodation.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide clear directions to help us find the venue and direct access to unload our gear.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we’re completely self-contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music."
