RUNNIN’ WILD

Powerful modern Rockabilly Quartet with Country-influences and Swing-feel.

Not “pure retro”, but a clear 21st century approach to these classic styles.
Great guitar work, a wild slapping double bass, fierce drumming.

Singer Patrick Ouchène looks like Elvis, but admires Buddy Holly.

His favourite musical style is Swing. That’s why he also has a FIDDLE in the band, ready to play swingstyle dance music inspired by great Gipsy-masters like Stéphane Grapelli. This may also explain this other surprise: there are some French lyrics in the repertoire.

And yes, this is the same singer who had, some years ago, a big hit in France with “Je Suis Swing”.

And what about the backing vocals, which make some people believe that the ghost of the late great Johnny Cash is there, somewhere, somehow?

Perhaps we should just call it classic Bob Wills-styled Western Swing?

Let’s close the discussion. Just call it wild swingin’ dance music by a great band with a great show.

They have a huge repertoire that includes fifties rockabilly classics alongside swing standards and an impressive catalogue of original songs written bij Patrick. All in the same vein: audience-thrillers !
