The Rhythm Rockets
OLD SCHOOL JAZZ, RHYTHM & BLUES
The Rhythm Rockets are a guaranteed good time, full of boundless energy, top-flight musicianship, and flat-out fun. Captivating singer Miss Lou, has recently joined the band, taking over the vocals. So beguiling is her vocal delivery that their repertoire is now dominated by classic material from the postwar era by Dinah Washington, Big Maybelle, Peggy Lee, Ella Mae Morse, Ruth Brown, Etta James, and Annie Laurie.
The Rhythm Rockets not only sound right, this seven piece band looks every inch the part of a vintage Rhythm & Blues outfit. Everyone’s impeccably dressed in suits and ties (except Miss Lou, obviously). The Rhythm Rockets’ repertoire encompasses a vast 160 selections, including several tasty originals and at least one number penned by our guitarist’s late grandmother, a jazz-loving hipster who wrote “I’ll Take A Holiday From Love” in the 1930‘s never knowing someday her grandson’s band would lovingly perform it.
