"Red hot and razor sharp!"

"This powerful group performs early arrangements in the style of the original bands. They are excellent musicians, both as soloists and as an ensemble.”
– Lakeside Dixiefest, festival director Rich Dean
"With multi-talented musicians, this group has been burning up the festival circuit. From traditional jazz tunes to swing, the Stompers attack each with vigor and gusto. Musically tight, technically astounding, laced with humor, and always entertaining, they will have you calling for more. Luckily, they have more!"
