Duke of George presents

The Country Blues, Ragtime and Vintage Jazz Roadshow

Join The Ragtones and Dave's Dobro Dream Hour as they traverse the muddy Delta, Piedmont hill country and back streets of New Orleans on an historic journey through the interwar music styles that defined 1920s, 30s and 40s America.

Performed with vintage instruments and microphones, the sounds have a rich, authentic texture, taking audiences on a dreamy trip back into the glory days of parlour music, speakeasies and jook joints. Uplifting, toe tapping and redolent with the stories of some beloved and long-lost artists, come ready to dance, swoon and revel with some of WA's finest exponents of this music.

REVIEW

Playmakers Festival 26’

"The Country blues/ragtime/vintage show at the Playmakers festival was extraordinary! I drifted in almost by accident just as they got on stage, and I was blown away. The high quality musicianship from all the performers was astonishing as they gelled together like warm chocolate. They played a variety of styles and were able to 'feel' the strong audience response and rise to the occasion.

This group deserves national recognition and no doubt they will get it with performances like this one. A touch of class from WA."
