DESCRIPTION:
Nestled between the big band sounds of the 1940's and the birth of Rock and Roll in the late 1950's, was a style of music that gave way to Rhythm and Blues. This high energy, up-tempo, dance music was created by black artists who were inspired and schooled by the pre-war Swing era. In turn, these artists were inspirational to the founding fathers of Rock and Roll such as Bill Haley and his Comets, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and of course, Elvis Presley. These musicians often credited the jump bands of the 1940's & 50's as the basis and influence of their own sound.The Rhythm Rockets have re-created that sound, style and energy into their shows. Bringing the audience back in time to one of America’s musical hey-days! Performing over 150 dates per year for the past 7 years, the Rhythm Rockets have become a favorite to fans of all ages. Top Chicagoland venues like the Paramount Arts Center, Willowbrook Ballroom, Green Dolphin Street, the United Center, Pheasant Run Resort, and Rialto Square Theater, have hosted the Rhythm Rockets. In addition, the Rhythm Rockets have been performing at Chicago’s longest running, weekly Swing Night at Frankie’s Blue Room for seven years. The Rhythm Rockets have performed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. In 2001, Columbia Tristar included three Rhythm Rockets’ songs on their FOX Television show, The Tick.
