Hot Club of Cowtown are a rowdy blend of Gypsy Jazz and the American Songbook. In the spirit of legendary swing players like Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, this trio bring us an American update on a classic sound; 1930’s Paris via Austin Texas. Elana James, Whit Smith, and Jake Erwin use fiddle, guitar, and string bass to glue together these two distinct styles and explore the gulf between them. Spontaneous and quick witted, Hot Club of Cowtown are experts on expansion. Their chemistry and vivacity pour out in every note; plucked or bowed.
Beginning in the late nineties, Hot Club of Cowtown have used their uniquely international sound to tour the world; making friends and fans in The United States, United Kingdom, Azerbaijan, Oman, and Armenia. They’ve also had the opportunity to play with tastemakers like Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Roxy Music.
