  • Bio

    Two honey-tongued singers and a lonesome guitar; together they form the trio known as Mr. Lonesome and The Bluebelles. Performing melancholy love songs, doo-wop, vaudeville and tongue-in-cheek ditties from the 1920’s,30’s and beyond, they bring a splash of the theatrical, a smidgeon of slapstick and a whole lot of silly fun to tunes of yesteryear. Their original arrangements reflect the musings of groups such as The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, Eddie Cantor and others. From the obscure to the obvious Mr. Lonesome and The Bluebelles put a new spin on the early American songbook.

  • Members

    Two ladies and a lonely bloke. Guests include Joe Kyle, Daniel Fabricant and David Ewell on Bass, Eric Garland on drums, Michael McIntosh on piano, and Ralph Carney on saxes. Members have played venues from the Montreux jazz festival in Switzerland, and Reading Festival, UK internationally to The Filmore and The Palace of Fine Arts locally and many more...

  • Influences

    To name a few ....Billie Holiday,The Ink Spots, Eddie Cantor,Etta James, Bessie Smith,Harold Arlen, Carl Stalling, Ricki and Lucille Ball, Astor Piazolla,Duke Ellington, Dolly Parton,Tom Waits, Perry Como ,Kurt Weill, Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, The Mills Bros.etc... We like- dancin', cabarets, doggies, shoes, busking in Europe, burlesque shows , twin peaks (the series), City of lost children (the movie), good food and good wine. We are- prone to fits of giggles. Hopes and Dreams are - to travel more -Europe and Japan and to Tango in Buenes Aires and Flamenco in Barcelona.

    "Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
    Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

    Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles)

    "The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

We like- dancin', cabarets, doggies, shoes, busking in Europe, burlesque shows , twin peaks (the series), City of lost children (the movie), good food and good wine. We are- prone to fits of giggles.
