July 24: "Voloswing"
Between rum and bourbon, the frenzied rhythm of the washboard covers the piano's vocals, while a beautiful raspy voice moves your ears. The bayou approaches you, beware of the crocodile. A New Orleans show based on piano, washboard and trombone, under the lilting voice of Roaring Twenties melodies.
