The Humdinger Band! Jazz to Janis Joplin
The Humdinger Band's bag: Jazz to Janis Joplin
Our mission: to provide a swing'n jazzy, funk-filled bluesy, rock-infused sexy dance-a-licous time!
Our motto: Shake Those Hips
Soulful. Swinging. Sassy. Love music legends -- Peggy Lee, Rickie Lee Jone, Amy Winehouse, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, The Stones, Creedence, Steppenwolf and the queen of soul Aretha. We do. We play their best – ones you love to get on down to. We do originals too. We have a blast, you will too.
The Humdinger Band is a triple threat ~ blending rousing vocals, a driving rhythm section and inspired instrumentals by renowned musicians who have played with, among others, Eddie Money, John Lee Hooker, and Davey Pattison.
