If you're looking for a band with a
swingin' rhythm and an old timey flavor, look no further. This group
combines the talents of 5 notable musicians responsible for the tapping of
thousands of feet across Ohio for the last 20 years. The band specializes in Western
Swing and music from the '20's, '30's, '40's, but plays several musical styles
, ranging from Appalachian tunes, Blues, Old Country & Folk, to even 50's
& 60's pop. Requests from the audience are frequently honored.
It's the hot swinging fiddle playing of multi-instrumentalist
Joe Lautzenheiser from Massillon, Ohio that keeps those feet moving. From
Zanesville, their lead female vocalist is Kris Geis,
adding great lead & harmony vocals to the show. With her wonderful vocal range, she
presents music from the era of Bob Wills, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Ella
Fitzgerald, & Patsy Cline. Caleb Hutslar from Columbus, Ohio, plays one swinging keyboard. Caleb has
played with several jazz bands in Ohio over the years including Anna and the
Consequences, The Charged Particles and After Hours. Driving
the band and swinging on his upright bass is Jonathan Sowers from Lancaster, Oh. Also
carrying lead and harmony vocals and the guitar work on his Gibson guitar, is
Pete Shew.
