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. Take The RJO advice - "Just Get Drunk and Truck"
Audience participation is always encouraged
