   About The Taters
The Taters ( www.thetaters.com ) play an eclectic mix of roots rock, pop, & country & have been compared favorably to a mixture of Everlys, Orbison, Beatles, The Mavericks, and Nick Lowe. Billboard magazine described the Taters as "determinedly-and gleefully-forging a path with no limits or end in sight. This is music for which you've been waiting a long, long time... Without a trace of self-consciousness or pretension, the Taters draw up a formula that can rightly be claimed as their own". They have played successful shows through the mid-Atlantic region for the last 13 years, at festivals, clubs, bookstores & house concerts. They have 4 CDs of original music out, and are currently getting airplay at over 60 stations around the world, in 10 countries

"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)

"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

It was my pleasure to play "Just One Night" on my weekly, 30-minute podcast featuring mainstream, independent music. The direct link to the show is: http://indiemusicsampler. com/2009/02/27/ims-122/

In a few days, the song will also be added to the music stream which plays out some of the best in independent music commercial-free 24x7.

Cheers,
