3Degrees

3Degrees is the hip hop & horns sensation that has taken Newcastle by storm since their debut in 2023. Bringing together the region's hottest jazz horns, the phattest groove engine around and Aussie hip hop royalty Wiz & Kid (Blades), they bring the party with a unique sound and style that will get you bopping! This collective of experienced musicians have been staking their claim on the local scene, opening for Harry James Angus (The Cat Empire) and lining up festival appearances (Newcastle Jazz Fest, West Best Bloc Fest), as well as their own high energy headliner shows.

Inspired by groups like the Roots, Hilltop Hoods, Soul Rebels, Hot 8 and Dirty Dozen, 3Degrees has a sound inspired by modern New Orleans street beats, yet uniquely Australian. These musicians have performed all around the world with various acts, and are now joining forces to create a global sound with deep local roots!
