Conjuring up the mood of 1930s Paris, fused with flavours of Eastern Europe
and a liberal sprinkling of high energy folk, The Schmoozenbergs’ uplifting
music will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. With roots in Gypsy
Jazz, and influences beyond, they bring you irresistible rhythms, evocative
melodies and playful improvisation to create a lively and heart-warming sound.
Featuring the soaring fiddle playing of Gina Griffin, the masterful double bass
of Ron Phelan, and the bouncing rhythm and hot lead guitars of Sam Stennett
and Tom Brydon-Smith, this Bristol band have delighted audiences at venues
and festivals across the UK for the past decade. Their latest album ‘Awaken’, a
collection of original compositions, was ‘Played throughout with much gusto,
and projects an infectious joie de vivre that will, no doubt, healthily up any
heartbeat’ (*****, Morning Star), and was described as ‘Excellent musicianship,
laidback and accomplished...played with love and abandon’ (Folkradio.co.uk). https://eartrumpetmusic.co.uk
