Squirrel Nut Zippers Present Jazz from the Back O’ Town A Musical Journey to the Birthplace of Jazz in 1920s New Orleans Iconic New Orleans based Jazz Rockers Squirrel Nut Zippers will be taking fans on a magical, musical voyage to the birthplace of Jazz as they present Jazz from the Back O’ Town. The show explores the New Orleans Back O’ Town Jazz scene of the late 19th century through the Roaring Twenties as the Zippers provide a delightful view into this mystical era with reverent, yet exciting, renditions of such seminal classics as Jelly Roll Morton’s “Animule Ball,” Louis Armstrong’s “Back O’ Town Blues,” as well as favorites from their own catalog, adapted to more closely echo the sounds of 1920s New Orleans and performed in era appropriate attire. The Platinum selling group has sold over three million albums to-date, with their watershed album, Hot (1996), making them a household name.

These guys are sooooo amazing every single time that I have seen them since 1996. Tonight's show was centered around their Christmas Caravan record. The cool thing was that they pulled material from EP's and demo material that they seldom if ever played live. I even got a "Santa Claus is Smokin' Reefer" from an obscure EP they put out. The song isn't even listed on the album, and you have to listen to a couple minutes of silence before it even plays. These guys are world class and they have even hired an amazing violin/ multi instrumentalist who is able to effectively pull off the Andrew Bird violin solos from the early days. Spend the money to support these fine people. It will be the BEST Holiday show that you have EVER seen!
