About this user
There was a time, before the recording industry was fully developed, when the labels applied to specific styles of music were nothing more than fledgling marketing terms. The musicians who appeared on the early records of the 1920's and 30's thought nothing of playing any style of music, and were guided only by their own personal taste. Artists like Eddie Lang and Louis Armstrong, in addition to playing their own music, backed blues shouters, country singers, and played in big band orchestras. This is the spirit that we, as a band, are trying to recapture. We play our own songs, and others that have caught our ears, regardless of their origins. Most importantly, we try to make every song our own. After six years of playing together, each musician in the group has developed a distinct, personal voice which can be heard in each song. The result is an infectious mix of early blues, jazz, country, and popular songs which is highly listenable and ideal for dancing.
