About the Artist
A four-piece band known for its supercharged, hot ragtime jazz with a touch of rock and roll, the Atlanta, GA-based band, Blair Crimmins and the Hookers have dedicated their musical careers to revive and bring Ragtime and 1920s Dixieland jazz to new audiences. However, Crimmins and his backing band, the Hookers don’t focus on some sort of lifeless, era-inspired tribute; their sound, much like the sound they love and are so deeply inspired by is a living, vital thing recorded using modern studio techniques.
