We LOVE Jump Blues. Turns out, RUSS WILSON loves Jump Blues too. When we found out this fantastic musician, based in North Carolina, had an ensemble called KING ARTHUR AND THE KNIGHTS that plays Jump and Rhythm and Blues, we just had to book them. Get ready for a night of swing dancing to the music of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Roy Hamilton, Johnny “Guitar” Watson, and more. There’s even a Hammond organ to lay down that nice fat groove that makes you want to move. Another night that we just can’t wait for.
