Steve Lucky and The Rhumba Bums

Steve Lucky's sextet performs a mélange of Jump Blues, Swing, Big Band Jazz and other rare gems inspired by the 30s, 40s and 50s, bringing an intense energy, personal magnetism and knowing wit to their musical portrayals of the battle between the sexes.

Called "instant crowd favorites" by the San Francisco Blues Festival and "consummate musicians and entertainers" by New York City's Lincoln Center, Lucky and Miss Carmen Getit really shine before a live audience, having earned a reputation as captivating entertainers with "superior musicianship" (Downbeat), engaging audiences at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Half Note Jazz Club in Athens, Greece, the San Francisco Blues Festival, as the house band at the Derby in Hollywood, and hundreds of nightclubs, festivals, and performing arts centers around the world.
The band really took shape in 94 with the addition of Miss Carmen Getit on vocals and guitar.

Getit is a dynamic performer and versatile vocalist, interpreting "slick jazz a la Dinah Washington" or shouting down-and-out blues, according to the Ann Arbor Observer, and in her powerful vocals, one can hear echoes of her idols Ruth Brown, Etta James, and Dinah Washington.
