The Vaudevillian recreate the atmosphere of those old medicine shows that, during the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries, often travelled around villages and other places in the United States It was a time where, despite alcohol prohibition, people used to gather at old ramshackled barrelhouses where clandestine or homemade alcohol was consumed and people met to have fun, and dance ragtime and other rhythms like cake walk The music in those rollicking places was played with acoustic instruments in the path of the jug bands with instruments like washboard, guitar, banjo, kazoo, harmonica or jug The Vaudevillian perform these old styles belonging to the black vaudeville golden years and they do it on a faithful joyful way and a total dedication that, undoubtedly, will infect all those who listen to them, The group includes Jitterbug James on vocals, acoustic guitar and carzoobamaphone, Piedmont Johnson on vocals and double bass, Norah Spades on vocals, kazoo and washboard and Dan Edmonds on piano in five cuts Listen to the old sounds these musicians faithfully perform with great conviction is a pure delight for the senses With this debut album The Vaudevillian inject new strength and vigour to those twenties blues and ragtime music
