Inner West · Sydney · Australia
An eclectic, funkin’ Sydney based band, into fusion jazz, soul, RnB and good dancing music, fronted by singer/songwriter Clive Lochner. The Melting Pot create sensational grooves and often venture into slick improvisations. Drawn from a collective comprising some of Sydney’s finest musicians. Musicians whose different elements melt together into a harmonious, rhythm heavy, melodic whole with a dynamic common culture and direction.
