Here comes a charismatic funny band, always ready to give us joy This time they come with a selection of songs written by band bass player Richard Street, who also sings the song Three Cool Cats, although they also perform some excellent covers of various artists like George Harmonica Smith, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, Doc Pomus, or Leiber & Stoller Original musicians who tastefully combine Chicago blues, East Coast swing and jump blues, together with a good dose of old time rhythm and blues, so the result is nothing but a cool, spontaneous, very effective dancing music In 2006 they were finalist at the prestigious International Blues Challenge Awards in Memphis, which gave them a good recognition among blues circles Lil’ Cliff Bernard sings and blows harp, while the Cliffhangers include Richard Street double bass and vocals, Dennis Phelps guitar and vocals and Frank Patterson drums and vocals There are also some guests musicians who provide variety and elegance to the whole repertoire
