Ragtime Rumours

Think of Pokey Lafarge and Tom Waits visiting Django Reinhard, drinking a big mug of coffee while listening to Robert Johnson. An energetic renewing old-skool ragtime, gypsyjazz  and roots/blues band playin with a rock&roll attitude, ‘’RAG’N ROLL’’!!! 
The last 2 years the band produced the very well received EP ‘’Ain’t Nobody’’  the single + video ‘’Love & Lust’’, played all over The Netherlands and toured in Norway, Italy and the UK.

The band won the finals of the ‘’Dutch Blues Challenge’’ and therefore represented The Netherlands in Memphis, USA, at the ‘’International Blues Challenge’’ and at the ‘’European Blues Challenge 2018’’ in Hell, Noorwegen where they won!
At the moment the band is working hard on their first full length album that will be released in spring/summer 2018; ‘’Comic and other songs for smoking concerts’’, and will be touring all over Europe this year!!
So spread the rumour: ‘’The Ragtime Rumours’’ are coming!!

The band is:
Tom Janssen: acoustic guitar, lead vocals
Niki van der Schuren: upright-bass, vocals, flute, bariton saxophone
Thimo Gijezen: electric guitar, accordeon, piano, vocals
Sjaak Korsten: drums, kazoo, washbord, vocals
