MORE ABOUT THE JELLYROLLERS

Six summers back, in Cambridge, MA, blues singer/harmonicist J. Place went to the House of Blues to have lunch with a belly dancer. On stage was acoustic guitarist Bertrand Laurence, paying homage to the root music of Mississippi, New Orleans, and Chicago. Sensing a connection, J asked to sit in and the Jellyrollers were born. Strictly acoustic, they now include Micke Bones on drums and things, Washtub Robbie , Rob Rudin on washboard and spoons, and Scott Shetler on clarinet. Venues: Boston Blues Festival, Boston Folk Festival, New York/Lincoln Center, Quincy blues festival, House Of Blues, Johnny D's, Lizard Lounge, and various broadcasts. "Both high-spirited and heart-felt, the Jellyrollers have a filling for the hole in your soul." -- Brett Milano.
