About Us

Judd Brennand and his band Schmaltz perform all the jazz tunes from Swing to the Bossa and back again with a dash of Soul and Blues adding to their smooth and intimate selection. Judd the lead singer, was the winner of the Best Male Vocal category at the 2006 NCEIA Dolphin Awards NSW. He has appeared on TV (Good Morning Australia) Film (Bullet Proof and Blind) and Radio (ABC Northcoast, Darwin FM) as well as Overseas in Theatre and Stage. He formed Schmaltz because of the overwelming responses he recieved from his choices of repetoire at live venues. The name Schmaltz really says it all, their music is real, its honest and filled with nostalgia and fitting for all types of functions including weddings and openings, festivals and end of year celebrations.

Schmaltz is a corporate function band based in the Northern Rivers Area of NSW. The band performs styles from sultry Jazz and Blues to Soul and modern folk. The outfit caters for all venues and all client specific requirements, from a Duo to a 5 piece band.

Judd Brennand heads the line up with his extraordinary voice and soulful lyrics. The incredible Marcus Makin accompanies on Piano, with melody man Mr Julieus Hofstetter on saxophones. The back bone of the band is Bass Guitarist Sam Langston and locally renowned Byron Goodwin on Drums.
