Jack Klatt & The Cat Swingers CD Release Celebration with The Cactus Blossoms
with special guest musicians Dakota Dave Hull and Cornbread Harris
Mississippi Roll is the second album from Jack Klatt & The Cat Swingers. Fifteen tracks of new originals & dusted off traditionals that combine country blues, western swing and ragtime into a thoroughly modern configuration that will tickle you with the chubby fingers of Fats Waller. The true blue in this river is found in the prominent collaborations with four of Minnesota’s most inspirational emissaries of traditional American music; Spider John Koerner, James Samuel "Cornbread" Harris, Dakota Dave Hull and Charlie Parr. So ride the river, soak up some songs and join us as two generations of musicians collide for one night to celebrate the release of Mississippi Roll.
Authentic old-time country duo The Cactus Blossoms open.
