   About The Blue Rhythm Boys
Blending the blues of Mississippi John Hurt with the hot club swing of Django Reinhardt, The Blue Rhythm Boys have delighted audiences with their tight vocals and hot guitar playing since 1997. Tom Mitchell , Jim Stephanson and Ralph Gordon bring authenticity and originality to their own smoky mix of hot jazz, blues and hokum. Tom Mitchell, known for his hard-driving swing/jazz guitar playing and singing, has performed in the Washington, DC area for more than 20 years. He can also be seen performing with Brooks Teglers Hot Jazz, and his own quintet Double Scotch. From 1993 till 2003 Tom toured internationally as guitarist with Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. He can be heard on Dans recording Beatin the Heat with Elvis Costello, Rickie Lee Jones, Bette Midler, Brian Setzer and Tom Waits. Jim Stephansons unique guitar style draws on the influences of Chet Atkins, Danny Gatton, Les Paul and Mississippi John Hurt. The Washington Post says: "Washington DC can lay claim to a heritage of great electric guitar players; Jim Stephanson is part of that legacy." Jim is a regular on both stage and studio in and around Washington DC. He can be seen on guitar and vocals with local rockabilly legend Billy Hancock and with his own hot R&B band Jimmy & the Blue Dogs, who are featured on a number of compilations on the Hungry for Music label. Acclaimed teacher, recording artist and performer, Ralph Gordon has been playing for dancers and concert audiances for more than twenty-five years. He has played with everyone from Trapezoid to Martin, Bogan and Armstrong and can be heard on over 90 recordings. The Blue Rhythm Boys 2003 release, Monday Morning Blues, was recorded by renowned Folkways engineer, Pete Reiniger and features guest artists Vince McCool on trumpet, Brooks Tegler on drums, Phil Wiggins on harmonica and Kevin Wimmer on violin. About this recording, Folk/swingster Dan Hicks says: Swingin Acoustic Guitars, southern-tinged vocals, and the best repertoire East of Bucks County all combine to float your boat up the mighty Miss-i-sip!

"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

Hey guys
I'd like to invite you to listen to the songs on my profile, if you haven't already. There are four songs from our new album, 'Fingers In The Pie', and two from the first album, 'The Long Run'. Feel free to write a short comment; and if you really, really like what you hear, my special offer for direct orders of the new CD is still going. Please contact me for more information. And thank you for looking into my music!

Hello lovely Marylanders! It's been ages since I've seen most of you. I miss Charm City...Just thought I'd drop a quick line and let you know I'll be playing at the 13th floor (one chase street, in the belvedere hotel) Thursday, Sept. 4 from 10-1am, with my wonderful Boston band, The Bon Ton Parade. It would be great if you could make it.

love,
Miss Tess

I still listen to Big Night Out. It was my favorite CD when I was little.
My dad was sad because he thought I wouldn't like Old-time.
Now I love both!

Sooo, is it true you are coming to Thanksgiving?
Oh! I think you should.
