Hot Club of Cowtown

The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor
86 Townsend Avenue
Boothbay Harbor
08/18/2016 | 7:30 pm

Advance Tickets $20. Day of show $25. You might think a band from Austin, Texas with the word “Cowtown” in its name spends its time off from touring herding cattle at a West Texas ranch or maybe in Nashville writing songs about whiskey. Not this band. “We recently took a band vacation to the Gypsy Festival at St. Maries de la Mer in the South of France,” says the band’s fiddler and vocalist, Elana James. Whit Smith, Hot Club’s guitar player and vocalist, is a regular at the prestigious Djangofest Northwest in Whidbey, Island, Washington, and bass player Jake Erwin has the Hungarian folk band Csokolom in regular rotation on his home stereo. “Our band is fiddle, guitar, and bass, and they can do anything together. We’ve always played a combination of hot jazz and Western swing,” says James, but they can play anything. Artist website: hotclubofcowtown.com
