Michael Lee Ammons & The Water Street Hotshots
Saturday, August 11, 2007
The Water Street Hot Shots are a hard working traditional blues string band. Their recording "This Will Bring You Back" is now available on PERKATONE REDCORDS. Drawing from acoustic musical styles of the 1920's and 30's, The Hot Shots' repertoire includes old-time blues, ragtime, novelty, and "hokum" party music. Listeners can expect to hear slide-guitar in the style of masters like Son House and Tampa Red, jug band tunes, and string band arrangements of ragtime pieces.
