Luck-E-Letter May 2006: Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums & More

 

Hello everybody,

 

We just got back from 5 shows on the East Coast where we had a ball!   Lots of musicians who’ve played in the Rhumba Bums over the years turned out to sit in with the band at Swing 46 in Manhattan.  In attendance were George Gee and trumpeter/vocalist Walt Szymanski of NYC’s George Gee Orchestra, 3 saxophonists: Rob Sudduth (Ben Whalen) who wrote “Where’s My Gravy?”, Matt Cowan, and Matt Hong (formerly of the Blues Jumpers and plays with lots of bands like Ron Sunshine, and Lavay Smith) and drummer Darell Green.  We had most of them up at the same time for an extended jam.  And at the historic Glen Echo Ballroom in D.C. we performed for 700 people.

 

We’re back in California now with a strong lineup of great night club dates and tons of outdoor music festivals and concerts this summer.  We’re proud to be included in this year’s San Francisco Jazz Festival, with a free concert at Stanford Shopping Center in June, and a jazz cruise on San Francisco Bay this October with Lavay Smith & her Red Hot Skillet Lickers!

 

And this Friday we return with the full Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums to Biscuits and Blues – we haven’t performed there since October!  Great food, awesome ambience, full bar!  We love performing at and seeing other artists at this great local venue.

 

Now stay tuned for our upcoming shows!
