A joyous mixture of the absurd and sublime, this eight-piece ensemble gracefully creates a musical amalgam of Hokum Blues, Hillbilly Swing, Country and Hot Jazz. Simultaneously paying respects to their musical influences and irreverently destroying any notion of musical purism, they work hard at making it seem easy.

The band’s unique and consistently exuberant live show has earned them an ever-expanding loyal fan base in just a few short years. Imagine a smorgasbord of Cab Calloway, circus sideshow, KISS, cabaret, Hee Haw and Robert Johnson served up at Andy Kaufman's bat-mitzvah. Like the great entertainers before them, the band's true gift is their ability to take their eclectic influences and combine them into something they can call their own. A theatrical and infectious good time, they must be seen to be believed!
