The tone of our vintage instruments adds a percussive rhythm and a pulse to the music. Though steeped in tradition, we believe our music also has a relevance and modern feel.” – see their Facebook Page
9:30-10:00 pm – Dan Bliss – “Seeded with narrative stories and instrumentals, one can hear echoes of Leon Redbone, Django Reinhart, Taj Mahal… Each performance is a mischievous delight. There is his ornery side-ways smile and just a hint of a nasal drawl infusing each tune with a muddy, crawfish authenticity.” – Present magazine
