Tune Stranglers 02: Novelty Songs

There are 6 programs of great screwball fun. Each thirty minute program features a different theme. With a smorgasbord of stringed instruments, washboard and the occasional clarinet, they perform fabulous hot jazz and old-timey music of the 1920’s and 30’s. If good ole country and bluegrass is what you like, this band can kick up their heels and hoe down ‘til the cows come home. If you prefer sophisticated hot jazz, they’ll get slick and citified and swing you round the ballroom. The group plays everything from hot jazz to slow blues, country melodies and swingin’ rhythms, cowgirl yodelin‘ to uptown croonin’ so sweet you'll “want to take your pants off” as one fan put it.
