Sounds Like
Swing meets Tin Pan Alley meets Country & Western, with a healthy dose o' the Blues
"A fresh voice that draws deeply on early musical sources as Count Basie, W.C. Handy, West Coast Cool Jazz, Dixieland, and Bob Wills, but with a sound that is very much in the here an now, Tin Cup Serenade drive with a confident yet languid strut that defies the amount of skill taken to create it. These guys make it all look like life’s The Big Easy, crooning, thumping, and blowing a sound that is loose, free, and fun to dance to."
"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
Thanks for being my new friend. This is a video a few of my friends from Berlin produced. I'm the guy playing the accordion in front of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I hope you enjoy it.
