Hopetoun Brown is a dynamic duo hailing from New Zealand, known for their energetic live performances and brass-fueled funky blues sound. Comprised of Nick Atkinson and Tim Stewart, the pair were once also part of the horn section of the popular Kiwi group Supergroove. As Hopetoun Brown, they break away from their roots, diving into a soulful journey that brews together blues, jazz, and a touch of rockabilly. Their raw, foot-stomping energy is complemented by their multi-instrumental talent, as they wield an array of horns, harmonicas, and vocal prowess.

The music of Hopetoun Brown is characterized by a gritty, soulful undercurrent and a penchant for vibrant live shows that engage and exhilarate audiences. As showcased in their album "Live at WOMAD", they have an undeniable ability to capture the spontaneity and excitement of their stage performances in their recordings. Their tracks "Don't Let Them Lock You Up" and "Put it Down" exemplify their high-octane style, with driving rhythms and pulsating horns. The song "You Know I Know" features their signature sound, while "Look so Good" and "Hate I Don't Love You", which includes guest appearances from the likes of Tami Neilson and Finn Scholes, display their knack for collaboration and versatility. Their track "Burning Fuse" perfectly encapsulates the raw, rollicking energy that Hopetoun Brown brings to New Zealand's music scene and beyond.
