The Dandelion Stompers

with Vandello

The Dandelion Stompers bring you New Orleans jazz with all the trimmings. Start with a grade-A rhythm section, add a savory selection of horns, round out the mixture with hot and spicy vocals and you've got a recipe for Dandelion gumbo! Lineup: Chris Clark-bar sax; Tim Crumley-trumpet; Ira Greenstein-tpt; Brandi Janssen-bass; Marc Janssen-gtr; Katie Roche-voc; Suzanne Smith-cl; Devin van Holsteijn-alto sax

Vibrant. Fresh. Magnetic. Vandello has been described in many ways – mostly because they’re so darn hard to define. A little bit early jazz, a little bit modern swing, and a whole lot of fun, the unique Gypsy-Speakeasy sounds of this cheeky trio are guaranteed to get your toes tapping. Archtop guitar? Check. Latin hand drum? You got it. Upright bass named Ruby? Only here. Add some seriously sassy vocals (and a little bit of Scotch) and you’ve got a recipe for one awesome Tuesday night.
