ANDREA 'DAGMAR' BROWN. Dagmar sings blues, country, rock'n'roll, and r&b material. She has written music and lyrics for many songs, some of which are available for your listening pleasure right here. In December 2001, she put together Dagmar and The Seductones, seeking to meld a mix of original material and roots music performed by the finest musicians around -- they've been rockin' and rollin' ever since. She is a dynamic entertainer and her electric presence and sultry soaring style have engaged audiences in diverse venues from live and taped television and radio shows to clubs, concerts, and festivals. She toured Europe and Africa, entertaining the troops at U.S. Navy bases. She was featured on National Public Radio early on, was recently featured on Blues Deluxe, and her radio-friendly CDs, Little Bitta Love, and Come Back to Me, are being played all 'round the world.

BOB 'NEWSCASTER' SWENSON. Newscaster has been playing guitar professionally since he was thirteen. He was a classical guitar student at Sophocles Papas' Guitar Shop and studied at American University under John McGregor, a student of Andres Segovia. He backed up many great performers including Bo Diddley, The Clovers, Jack Scott, Robert Gordon, Narvel Felts, Tex Rubinowitz and others. He toured France in 1981 along with Sonny Fisher and Gene Summers. His work can be found on Ripsaw Records, Bluelight Records, Raucous Records, No Club Records, and Hungry For Music Records. Newscaster was co-founder of Dagmar and The Seductones and his rhythm and lead guitar work is featured on all their recordings.

BRYAN 'BIG WOODY' SMITH. Bryan's bass sound first gained international exposure in the mid-Seventies when he recorded and toured in the U.S. and Canada as a member of The Star Spangled Washboard Band. He worked with Bob Newscaster in the Tennessee Rockets, appearing on Ripsaw Records, and backing many rockabilly stars. He also performed with the U.S. Navy Band, Country Current, and worked with some of the best country and bluegrass musicians in the world. Bryan has played upright and electric bass with Dagmar and The Seductones since 2001 and is featured on all their recordings.

GEORGE 'BAM BAM' SHEPPARD. Since 2005, world-renowned drummer George Sheppard has performed with Dagmar and The Seductones. George is a a protegé of Henry Adler and Louis Bellson, and has toured and recorded with greats ranging from jazz icon Dizzy Gillespie to the rock groups The Talking Heads and the Butthole Surfers, from Grammy nominated guitarist Eric Johnson to Handy Award winners the Smokin' Joe Kubek Band with B'nois King.

   About Dagmar and The Seductones

In 2001, Andrea Dagmar Brown put together a band of the best musicians she knew from her years performing in the Washington DC area--Dagmar and The Seductones!

Dagmar and The Seductones' have released two radio-friendly CDs that have been broadcast, podcast and webcast all over the globe. The debut, "Little Bitta Love," was released in 2004, and their second, "Come Back To Me," in 2007: "It swings, it rocks, and truly captures the raw energy of rock & roll that has been largely missing for the past forty years," says DJ Lane Quigley, The Memory Lane Show.

Dagmar's vibrant stage presence and the band's unique rockin' sound combine to make Dagmar and The Seductones an entertainment experience. They treat crowds of all ages to their special brand of hi-energy rock'n'roll--at concerts, clubs, and festivals, honky tonks and dives--you name it, they'll rock it!

Dagmar’s vocal stylings will take you from the dance floor to the stars above with her sultry, soaring sound. The Seductones set fire to the music, reaching right down to the roots and raving up some red-blooded rhythms. Together, Dagmar and The Seductones make high-voltage, vintage rock and roll!

COME BACK TO ME, our new CD, and
LITTLE BITTA LOVE, our debut CD,
are available on:
Apple iTunes (little bitta love) Apple iTunes (Come Back to Me) CDBaby and others!

COME BACK TO ME
TYM Records 1002
street date: 13 March 2007

Now, how does one describe the music on offer here? Well, with Dagmars suggestively sultry wraparound southern, dripping, vocals; the best I can suggest is; a rather fruity mixture of The Stray Cats and The Blasters. A very fine, enjoyable home, Rockabilly hoe down.
-- Brian Harman, Blues Art Journal

Clearing easily the bar set by 2004's 'little bitta love,' Dagmar et al continue to mold animated sway-backed blues and countrified rock'n'roll with singular joyfulness. To the extent that good times can be transferred to digital format, they were here.
Recommended Tracks: 'Not My Concern' and 'You Said'
FIVE STARS * * * * *

-- Rockabilly Magazine (issue 37)

American Rockin' 4-piece led by great female vocals and featuring fabulous musicians...They play scorching Rockabilly and Rhythm Rockin' Blues..."
-- Raucous Records

What they have presented here is a box of chocolates for your aural consumption.
-- Larry Benicewicz, Baltimore Blues Society

A very enjoyable mix of roots musical styles!
-- Blue Suede News

Maybe more blues and less country than the previous one, Dagmar's second album is the perfect complement to their previous effort. You'll find at least one tune to please you on this varied cd (and if you have just one ounce of taste you'll like them all), they even have a song with a Rumba beat, how can't you like them?
-- Fred "Virgil" Turgis, Jumping From 6 to 6


LITTLE BITTA LOVE
TYM Records 1001
street date: 14 February 2004

Andrea Dagmar Brown, the fiery siren...leads the Seductones' sexy rockabilly charge.
--The Washington Post

tremendous driving sound...great energy...infectious...superb debut
-- American Music Magazine

A comfortably confident and knowing combo, Dagmar and company bring good-time, honky-tonk boppin' to our party. Presented with sincere gusto is an enticingly savory amalgam of roots additives that seizes and stirs. Never hyper or hurried, the band instead locates and exercises the pleasure inherent in kicking back and getting in touch with one's inner twang. Whether reinterpreting vintage material, dealing in original upbeat songs or downshifting for exquisite ballads, the group remains sure.
-- D.C. Larson, Rockabilly Magazine

If you like Wanda Jackson...Dagmar and the Seductones are for you. A big, bold, beautiful blonde, who sang for the troops far from home, who has sex appeal that won't leave you disappointed, backed by three musicians with impressive resumes, you've got the picture...A very fresh treat, recommended.
-– Le Cri du Coyote
