A Bermudian jazz band is set to join international talent performing at this year’s South by Southwest music festival.

The Tino Martinez Quartet was recently listed as a “Showcasing Artist” for the 2024 SXSW Music Festival, scheduled to take place in Austin, Texas, between March 8 and 16.

Other artists and bands set to take the stage at this year’s festival include Bootsy Collins and The Black Keys.

In a recent Facebook post, the group said: “What an incredible honour and privilege it is to be able to grace this world-class stage alongside talented artists from all over, while proudly representing Bermuda.

“Words cannot express the overwhelming excitement and joy that our quartet is feeling right now. This opportunity is a dream come true for us, and we are beyond grateful for the chance to showcase our music on such a prestigious platform.

“SXSW is renowned for its celebration of diverse musical talent, and to be recognised as a part of that is truly humbling. We cannot wait to bring our unique blend of sounds and rhythms to the festival and share our passion for music with the world.”

The group thanked its supporters and promised to deliver an “unforgettable performance that will make you proud”.

The SXSW website described the band as a “force to be reckoned with”.

It added: “Comprised of talented musicians from diverse backgrounds, their collective artistry has captivated Bermuda for the past five years.

“With an unwavering dedication to jazz and jazz fusion, the TMQ has successfully merged these two genres, creating a musical experience that is unparalleled.

“Their exceptional skill and passion for their craft have sparked a resurgent interest in jazz throughout Bermuda, leaving an indelible mark on the local music scene.”
