Cut Capers is a dynamic nine-piece band from Bristol, UK, known for their energetic fusion of funk, soul, swing and hip-hop.

The group has gained a reputation for their high-energy performances, combining live brass and tight funk rhythms, blending catchy hooks and danceable grooves with old-school influences, giving them a timeless yet fresh sound that appeals to a broad audience.

Their 2025 Step By Step Tour saw them play all over the UK, including a career pinnacle show at a sold out Royal Albert Hall in support of The Brand New Heavies, which they also supported throughout their Brother Sister Tour in 2024.

Summer 2025 will see the band perform at festivals across the UK and Europe, including Glastonbury and Festival du Bout du Monde.

New singles, including various collaborations, will be released across the summer, ahead of the late Autumn release of their upcoming fourth full length album.
