Expect to hear an interesting mix of originals plus some hot rhythm & blues, swinging jazz & a dash of ska including numbers from Ray Charles, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, all influenced by the music of New Orleans where band leaders Emile & Ben Martyn grew albeit infused with their own current, more contemporary sound. Led by brothers Ben (Vocals & Double Bass) and Emile Martyn, (Drums and backing vocals) their musical career started in New Orleans leading to extensive contact with local legends such as George Lewis, John Handy and Harold Dejan of the world famous Olympia Brass Band.
