Miss MaryAnn & The Ragtime Wranglers (NL)

This is the story of Miss Mary Ann and the Ragtime Wranglers.

We are an authentic Rockabilly Band and for those of you who haven’t heard of authentic Rockabilly music or are confused with the term Rockabilly now being used for some modern music: authentic Rockabilly is most easily described as the music Elvis played before he got famous. It’s a mixture between Hillbilly (old-time American music) and Rhythm and Blues. With the birth of Rockabilly, it was the first time the music industry was shaken to its core - the shock product by the Punk movement of the mid 1970s was nothing compared to what Rockabilly music did in the mid ‘50s. The church and politicians got involved to try to get it banned. But it turned out to be the first time in music history, that young people really took control of what they wanted to listen to. Some may think we dwell in the past, but if it works for Jazz and Blues, why not Rockabilly? The best thing about playing an old style of music in the 21st Century is you can incorporate the best of both worlds. A good example for this is our recording technique. We only use the finest vintage studio microphones (RCA, Neumann, Altec ), a legendary 1950’s RCA-mixer and an Ampex tape recorder before it gets transfered to digital recording equipment. For some years now, the same technique has been used to record modern music in the bigger recording studios all over the world. On our new release there will be some old standards, but mostly original work which we wrote ourselves. We have toured all over the world for over 15 years, playing the biggest Rockabilly festivals on our scene. But we are still fortunate to play small intimate gigs in clubs and bars from Europe to America (and last year we crossed the globe to play in Australia).
