Jake Calypso's Crazy Country Blues Sideproject

The roots are the salt in the rock'n'roll soup. Hervé Loison (a.k.a. Jake Calypso) pays tribute to some of his musical heroes and their roots with this side project. If you like John Lee Hooker, Dr. Isaiah Ross "The Harmonica Boss", Hasil Adkins, Slim Harpo, Hank Williams, you will love the Wild Boogie Combo. So also get ready for a fabulous old time music madness crossover when Jake Calypso takes the stage with the Wild Boogie Combo.

Hellishly good Teddyboy Rock'n'Roll - Made in Austria

The roots of this band go back to the 1990s, when a Teddyboy band called King Edward Teds brought the 100% British Teddyboy style and sound to Austria. After their breakup, singer and guitarist KING D founded the Edwardian Devils as a follow-up band, a trio that is also completely dedicated to classic Teddyboy Rock'n'Roll:

These three Austrians are definitely doomed to be Teds and to play hellishly good rock'n'roll.

Tedly Serious Revival Rockin' Since 1982"

True fans of the Teddy Boy revival know: Ronnie Nightingale And The Haydocks are a must-see! Since their formation in 1982 in Nijmegen, Holland, the band has gained a fan base throughout Europe with their straight Teddy Boy sound and released five albums and two singles.

Now it's high time to experience the "Dutch Finest" live in Walldorf.

The young rocker from England plays first-class piano rock'n'roll and delivers - inspired by Jerry Lee Lewis, but with a bunch of originality and youthful energy - an explosive show, e.g. in Hemsby, at the Rockabilly Rave or the Firebirds Festival.  The debut album was produced by Darrel Higham. the new album 'King Of The Hop' will hopefully be released before Whitsun on Emerald Records.

A Piano-Rock'n'Roll Firework

The doo-wop sensation from Barcelona!

The four smart gentlemen and the charming lady from beautiful Barcelona are clearly among the best contemporary doo-wop acts worldwide. Their vocal qualities and polyphonic harmony singing combined with an authentic stage show revive the magic of the US vocal groups of the 1950s and 1960s.

Curtain up for the Crema Catalana of Doo Wop! 

Fine, fine, superfine Roots Rock'n'Roll fom LA!

And another, if not the Super Roots Rock'n'Roll Band: Big Sandy (Robert Williams) has been continuously active with his Fly-Rite Boys for over 30 years. The band from the greater Los Angeles area, with its mixture of honky-tonk, western swing, rockabilly, rock'n'roll, rhythm'n'blues, soul and doo-wop, has meanwhile completed well over 3,000 live shows, including appearances at the Grand Grand Ole Opry in Nashville or on Conan O Brien's Late Night Show. They have had the honor of accompanying stars such as George Jones, Johnny Cash, and also Morrisey. The key to their music is undoubtedly authenticity, but they deliver it with incredible ease. And no matter where Big Sandy & the Fly-Rite Boys perform, they always vouch with their good name for a full broadside of real old time rock'n'roll. And the audience always leaves the concert hall happier than when they entered.
