Something magical happens when the sultry hot jazz made famous by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli meets the hard-driving Western swing sound pioneered by Bob Wills and early string bands of the American Southwest. Romantic and rhythmic, happy-making and heart-breaking, sophisticated and elegant while still down-to-earth and rugged, Austin's multiple award-winning Hot Club of Cowtown have been crafting originals and reinventing everything from hoedowns to American songbook standards for 25 years. The relentless passion of their live shows has earned them tour slots with Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Roxy Music and others. The Hot Club of Cowtown plays with sincerity and love of their forefathers and a knowing wink to the novelty of radio classics from the days of yore.
