It all began in 1994 when Yuri Zhuravel realized his dream - assembled a band. Three young guys from city of Rivne with pompadours and double-bass decided to sing in Ukrainian, breaking rules and canons of traditional rockabilly. This made them stand out amongst other bands. Though at first this decision brought many problems, soon the band’s unique approach helped to overcome existing stereotypes. Their music did not fit into the classical rockabilly framework, so they’ve invented “Ukrabilly”, which used Ukrainian folk music instead of American country music as an inspiration. Moreover, their appearance, behavior on stage, costumes and exclusive electro-goat-bass (based on Ukrainian folk instrument) added originality and it became impossible to confuse them with someone else.
Since the late 90s “OT VINTA” are touring nonstop. In recent years “OT VINTA” perform a lot in Europe - Ukrabilly is played at “Hodokvas” (Slovakia), “Zwarte Cross Fest” (Holland), “Visagino Country” (Lithuania), “Campus Fest” (Germany) and “Hinter-Tux Fest” (Austria). They are well known in Poland since the early 2000s because of their appearances at “Lemko’s Vatra”, “Podlasie Autumn”, “Psychobilly night”, “Breakout” and other major festivals. All of Russia loves these cheerful patriots - from Bryansk and far beyond the Urals. In 2012, the band represented Ukraine at the international Polish festival “Sopot Top of the Top 2012” with the song ""Ukraine" Between My Legs”. It’s hard to imagine a major Ukrainian music festival without them: "Nivroku", "Rock Sich", "Independence Day with Makhno", "Slavske Rock", "Zahid", "Ukrabilly Explosion", "Mazepa Fest", "Tarasova Mountain" "Goblin show", "Unizh", "Fortress", "Haydamaka.UA", "Franko-Fest", "Republic", "Obnowa-Fest" and many others.

A rollicking collection of meandering musicians led by the irrepressible and irresponsible “Al the Hat”; The New Hawleans Jug band have dominated the underground Jugband blues culture in NewHaw, Surrey, for over 10 years. With their rocked-up, Jazzed-up and messed-up versions of blues, folk and country standards, no one genre could accommodate them, so they had to create their own: they are perha
ps, the finest “Jugabilly” band you’re ever likely to hear. Some of NewHaw’s most creative drinkers have shuffled in and out of Al’s group; with the present line-up consisting of: Al the Hat on Blues Harp and vocals, Ewan (the newan) on doghouse bass, Precious Pierre on Mandolin, guitar and vocals, Jim-boy on lead guitar and vocals, Cool-Hand Luke on guitar and vocals, and Washboard-Steve, on Steve’s mum’s Washboard. Listen out for their rabble rousing rendition of “Plastic Jesus”, and the delightful timbre and subtle, but complex tonality from the solo trumpet-Kazoo. You’ll want more!! 

The Red Hots are two beautiful and talented ladies who bring life back to many classic jazz standards, old blues tunes and feisty originals with their blend of unique vocals ukulele/guitar mix with driving organic percussion.

Delivering songs about god, the devil, and the lost and lonely souls in between, Black Cat Bone serves up the type of stuff you can play while drinkin’ on the front porch with your friends and family… simple, raw, honest.

The Red Hots band began in October of 2012 in Danbury, CT — the brainchild and collaborative effort of Petra Herceg and Cynthia Preston, two beautiful and talented ladies who grew up playing music and had both performed professionally in the past. The band began re-imagining and re-doing classic, timeless pieces of music that were beginning to be lost to the ages, particularly old blues, jazz, ragtime and rockabilly. Mixing the retro-stylized covers in with their own eclectic sound, The Red Hots began gigging at local places around town, experimenting with their sound and musical elements. After dabbling with various instruments and line-ups, the band has solidified their image as a tight-knit 6 piece, adding bass and trumpet, and expanding their live performances all the way to NYC festivals and private parties at the Jersey shore, as well as becoming a well-known act in their hometown. Their adaptability has become their coup de grace, able to play anything from low key acoustic shows in wine bars and lounges, to swingin’ and jivin’ upbeat sets in bars and rock venues.
