After a couple tours in New Orleans and 4 SOLD OUT shows at the famous Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Warmdaddy-Rapp Quartet recorded their first release entitled ‘Natural History’. Their live shows are deep in swing, boogaloos, grooves and adventure. Not afraid to stretch out, they even employ the sounds of the didgeridoo. The Warmdaddy-Rapp Quartet are a refreshingly melodic, grooving, swinging band.

Joining ‘Warmdaddy’ and Rapp are David Ellington on the Hammond B3 organ and Chris Burroughs on drums, both from Atlanta, Georgia
