Hello bumrappers,

 

Here’s a copy of Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums’ Luck-E-Letter, our monthly newsletter, printed here on the bumrap list for your convenience.   Remember you can sign up for the newsletter which does not get spammed like this free yahoo list which the band has no control over <sigh>.

 

See you soon!

Ladeez and gentlemans, brethren and cistern, and the rest of all y’all too

 

You have only a few opportunities to see the lucky family of bands in the next couple of months, so come check out one of these upcoming shows and see the ‘big’ changes we have brewing.  This coming Saturday night, Sept. 16, we’ll be back for a rare appearance at our favorite swanky Marin roadhouse, Rancho Nicasio.  This is the Rhumba Bums’ last nightclub performance before we take our birthday break (you know about the guest artist in Carmen’s green room, right?).  Rumor has it our friend and famous fan Jan Wahl will be there that evening, so perhaps you could get an autograph or an answer to one those nagging classic film questions that keep you up at night.

Earlier that afternoon, (Sept. 16), Carmen Getit! (the band) will be making a rare appearance at a special show, the farewell performances (sob!) at our ol’ favorite East Bay artsy dive, the Ivy Room.  It’s an all-night affair, but we’ll be doing a 45 minute set at 5:00 before we run off to Rancho Nicasio.  Come on by the Ivy Room and say goodbye to an institution that has given us so much great music, good times, and bad hangovers.

On Saturday Sept. 23, Steve Lucky (without the Rhumba Bums) will be featured with the New Orleans All-Stars at Andrew Jaeger’s House of Seafood & Jazz (and Killer Pianos) at the Condor.   Also, the two last performances this year for the Steve and Carmen Show at the River Rock Casino will be on Sept. 19^th and 26^th.

There’s one more chance to see the Rhumba Bums at Sunnyvale’s dance emporium Steppin’ Out on Oct. 4^th (no more swing dances for the Bums after this until 2007, so grab your shoes and come on out!)

Don’t forget our last public performance of the year, the SF Jazz Festival “Swingin’ On the Bay” Brunch Cruise with our pals Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Lickers.  This is less than 3 weeks away from Carmen’s due date, so who knows, there could be a guest appearance of either a Coast Guard helicopter or even an early appearance of our new drummer ‘Beat Girl‘!

Now stay tuned for our upcoming shows:
