On a plethora of acoustic instrumentation

The RJO bring you the music of:

the steamboat levees of St Louis,

the bars of Beale Street, Memphis,

the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta,

the Appalachian back hills of Tennessee,

& the famed sporting houses of New Orleans.

 

 

The RJO is the authentic string-band sound of the early 20th century, playing a rootsy good-time mix of ragtime, country blues, hokum, skiffle and jug band music.
