Rock 'n' Roll was born in the '50s. The following ReduxRock listings offer everything from Rock-a-billy to street corner Doo-Wop. The artist links will connect you with talented singers and musicians who are recording new music inspired by the classic sounds of the 1950s.
Honky Tonk Swing
Kelli Grant
A little B. Midler, VooDoo Daddy, & Jerry Lee Lewis. "I love to write and perform all kinds of music. I have named my music style, "Swing-a-billy," which is a mixture of Rock 'n Roll, Rock-a-Billy, Western Swing, Pop, and the Blues...all mixed together in my own recipe."
Unstoppable
42Five
"Shattering the a capella stereotype. An evolving, street corner barbershop sound, and drawing on funk, rock, jazz, and blues - 42Five is unlike any musical experience around, recreating an entire instrumental band with nothing but their five voices."
The Devil Said Shake
Lisa George
One of the best female Rockabilly singers ever to come from the UK, Lisa delivers an album of spellbinding performances with authentic 1950s production. Original, rockin' styles that are a blend of Rockabilly, Rock 'n' Roll, '50s Country and rockin' Rhythm & Blues.
She'll Be Gone
Maria Vincent & The Millionaires
Swing Rock and Jump Blues. This swingin' six-piece, is one of the hottest bands on the Rhythm & Blues, Rock 'n' Roll and Swing scenes. Their sound is based around the early 1950s when Rock 'n' Roll emerged from Rhythm & Blues.
Make It Snappy
Josh Max's Outfit
"An all acoustic act with a slammin' electric, '50s sound. A beautiful, plus-size singer who could be heard with no microphone in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut all at once, a rockabilly cat writing all the material and providing burning licks as well as sweet acoustic stylings, a drop-dead gorgeous female stand-up bassist, and a drummer who brings a syncopatronic excellence to their raw sound."
Dibbs Preston & The Detonators
Dibbs Preston & The Detonators "Now with his new band the Detonators and fresh off another sold out tour this time with his old pal Brian Setzer and his amazing orchestra, Dibbs is sure to gain even more fans with this stunning recording of new original songs and a few great covers."
Sold Your Soul
Blue J's
"Exceptional Neo-Rockabilly featuring highly acclaimed guitar players Mark Harman (Restless) and Alan Wilson (The Sharks)."
Build Up
Jive Romeros
"The Jive Romeros have returned to their original sound which combines British Rock'n'Roll with American Big Beat Swing, and have presented their strongest release to date. The addition of ex-Stargazers Johnny Wallace "the coolest sax-man on the planet" is the icing on the cake. The Big Beat is back!"
Boogiemen
The Big Heat
"Eight-piece Rhythm & Blues outfit who pump out Jumpin', Swingin', Red Hot & Rockin' Jump Blues - their style taken from late 1940s & 1950s - the prime time of Rhythm & Blues."
Swingin' On Nothing
Hep Chaps
An incredible six-piece band formed by David Howarth and John Wallace, delivering punchy Swing Rhythms via original songs with zany lyrics and reworking favorites from the original Swing era."
One More Hop
Ray Campi
"Fantastic new recordings from the legendary performer, with top-notch Rockabilly backing from The Bellhops."
Hip Shakin' Voodoo
Rocket to Memphis
"Queen of the Voodoo Betty Bombshell and her stompin' quartet have cooked up a brand new platter of knee-tremblin', soulshakin' swamp-a-billy for your hip grinding pleasure. ROCKET TO MEMPHIS' first full-length CD certainly lives up to it's name! "
