The Rumblestrutters bring you feel-good blues, jazz and ragtime
of the Prohibition era. The band’s vivid evocations of the music
of the 1920s and ‘30s has earned them a reputation as one of the
most authentic and popular roots bands around, with highlights
including stellar performances at Birmingham International Jazz
Festival and Gloucester Blues Festival.
Started when Jon Toft (vocals, mandolin, banjo) found an ink
jug at the back of an old cupboard, the Swansea-based acoustic
three-piece features the virtuoso guitar-playing and voice of
Jonathan Nicholas, and Liam Ward on vocals, harmonica and
jug. Songs of bootleg liquor, all-night parties and bacchanalia
abound, tapped from a rich musical source. The Rumblestrutters
bring you the authentic sounds of 1920s and '30s America!
