The New Revival Coffeehouse will open its season on November 16 with good-time swing blues music of the 1930’s performed by The Smack Dabs. The Dabs feature the songs of Tampa Red, Big Bill Broonzy, The Harlem Hamfats, and many other artists from the swing era.
This delightful and timeless genre features a rich variety of musical styles, ranging from mournful blues to joyful celebrations, setting the stage for incredible solo and group improvisations and delighting audiences and dancers alike.
The rotating line-up of The Smack Dabs incudes vocals, guitar, piano, upright bass, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet and washboard.
“a rowdy yet disciplined outfit… It’s the jubilant sound of surprise…The Dabs call it bawdy yet inclusive.” Daniel Gewertz, artfuse.org
“…charming rootsy sounds…” Jay N. Miller, the Patriot Ledger
