Roochie Toockie and the Ragtime Shepherd Kings

We are proud to bring back one of the country's most unique touring acts. This time the quintet will be filling the Hardwick Townhouse with their unique sound, pickled humor and stunning outfits.

When you see the Ragtime Shepherd Kings you’ll witness: fancy fiddling, dueling hawaiian guitars, ukelele wizardry, a menagerie of toy instruments, vocal harmonies that sound as if they were polished by hand, a musical pig “porkestra,” and whatever else the gang has up their sleeves. The Roochie Toochies are a group of musician pals who joined forces because of their love of novelty music from the wax cylinder era and have brought to life music from 90-100 years ago in a way that delights people from 7-97. They live in New Orleans, Nashville and Detroit, but they get together each year to tour out-of-the-way and in-the-way places. They have appeared at festivals all over the US including the Black Pot Festival in Louisiana, Kauai Old Time Gathering, Kauai, HI; Knoxville Stomp, Knoxville, TN; The Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association Festival; Indiana Fiddler’s Gathering, Battle Ground, IN; Old Tone Roots Music Festival, Hillsdale, NY and the Wheatland Traditional Arts Festival in Remus, MI. They were first place winners of the Neotraditional Band Contest at the Appalachian String Band Festival in West Virginia in 2015.

Expect an evening of great music, treats, and memories that will make you say, "Did that really happen, or was it a dream?".
