49 SPECIAL:
Hailing from Porto, Portugal, 49 SPECIAL is a Country / Honky Tonk band that was formed in June 1998 by the fusion of the Rockabilly band The Tennessee Boys and two other musicians from the Portuguese rockin' scene. Since then, the band have been working on their self penned material as well as bringing their musical roots influences on Country & Western tunes. They have already rocked all over Portugal and the major Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly festivals in Europe and they are now making their first debut at the Get Rhythm Weekender!
BARRENCE WHITFIELD:
Since Barrence Whitfield and his band the Savages hit the scene with their first LP in 1984, they´ve been going down like a storm at fans of genuine rock´n´roll & rhythm´n´blues of the golden 50´s era. Barrence voice and sound has always had little extra rawness and primitive wilderness only black vocals in the early rock´n´roll and soul-tradition could come up with. He has found great plaesure in working with his new backing-band, THE SEATSNIFFERS. Their well mixed gumbo of all the good southern spices with New Orleans & Mississippi R´n´B, vintage Country and Rockabilly has stood out and became a much appreciated band of their own. Together they will make a mark on the music scene everywhere and knock your socks right off!!
THE BRICATS:
Is the title of Swing-o-Billy trio "The Bricats" new album on which the three well-dressed and groomed Bricatannian natives invite you to a 40s and 50s music jamboree. Hot Swing, powerful Rockabilly, brilliant self-penned songs and well-selected coverversions of the Rock'n'Roll era are being presented with harmony vocals, electric guitar, double bass and drum-kit. Eddie Bond meets Wynonie Harris, Caribian grooves meet Jive and Swing and nonsense lyrics meet sweet lovesongs. Their unique style makes them a bright spot in today's Rockabilly landscape and they have played he biggest Rockin' Festivals in England, Holland, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The Bricats surely have the talent to make the audience swing with at least one part of their body. Get ready for Swing-o-Billy!
