Bio
To Contact: don@ddemusic.com (518)782-0577 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For over 20 years, Doc Scanlon's Rhythm Boys has rocked the capitals of the world from Albany, New York to St. Petersburg, Russia with an exciting blend of Big Band Swing and Rockin' Rhythm & Blues. Style and showmanship has made the band a popular attraction at dances, concerts, clubs and private parties. People can't resist the boogie-down feeling of classic tunes by Glenn Miller, Nat King Cole, The Temptations, Chuck Berry and Ray Charles — put a dance floor in front of this band and flying feet fill it. Doc Scanlon is the band to see if you don't want an ordinary band — and they have a bigger sound than people ever expect from a five-piece combo. They currently tour up and down the East Coast and enjoy rabid receptions in such cities as Boston, Mass. and Washington, D.C, as well as their home turf in Upstate New York. In the past, they were chosen by one New York Governor to play his wedding and by a second Governor to help headline his Inaugural Gala. They have also performed at the famed Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and have toured internationally to France, Spain, Finland and Russia. All live performances feature a selection of favorites from the band's repertoire — a versatile combination of jumpin' blues, big band swing, classic Motown and roots rock 'n roll.
