Rockabilly Dance Party
featuring Switchblade 3 & The Jackpot Club
When does something that by first appearances looks or seems retro, actually become a new and different thing altogether? It’s hard to do, and believe me people have tried with varying degrees of success. But, that is just what is happening with a band out of Orange County California, THE JACKPOT CLUB!
By first appearances THE JACKPOT CLUB would seem like any other ‘rockabilly’ band. Take a twangy guitar and an upright bass and mix in a swingin’ drummer, salt to taste, etc. But, after listening to TJC take the crowd through a set or two of their music you begin to realize that this is much more than just a ‘rockabilly’ band! No other trio would take the crowd (in one set, mind you) from bar-room rock-n-roll of NRBQ to Peggy Lee’s ‘Fever‘! Who would dare move from the Las Vegas swing of Sam Butera to Nick Lowe’s punky power-pop to Louis Jordan’s rhythm and boogie? THE JACKPOT CLUB dares, and does!
