Swingin' West
Live at the Yankee
DVD



Soon to come
What happens when you put together eight first-class musicians with resumes that include playing/recording with New Riders of the Purple Sage, Aaron Neville, Asleep at the Wheel, Ray Charles, David Grisman, & TJ Kirk? You get SWINGIN' WEST! -- a two-night celebration of the 100th birthday of the King of Western Swing, Bob Wills (recorded on 2/18/05 + 2/19/05).

Culled from eight hours of high-octane performances, this DVD captures the highlights of the amazing 8-piece line-up that was featured for this event. The personnel includes Western Swing Hall of Fame inductee Tommy Thomsen (vocals & rhythm guitar), the legendary
Bobby Black (steel guitar), TJ Kirk bandmates Will Bernard (guitar), and John Schott (guitar), plus Jeremy Cohen (violin), Kirk Harwood (drums), Trevor Kinsel (bass), with a very special appearance by Bob Wills Texas Playboy drummer Johnny Cuviello (1945-1948). Two nights of pure rug-cutting Western Swing by some of the finest pickin’-n-grinnin’ musicians Northern California has to offer!

This DVD will be released on Monday, July 03, 2006.
