Dead Ringer has been a
fixture on the L.A. Lounge scene, playing to packed houses throughout
southern California since 1995. Serving up a superlative platter of
delicious vintage sounds, this offbeat quartet have been wowing the
Hollywood lounge scene and beyond with their sexy, sassy versions of classic
30's through 60's popular jazz standards.
The Dead Ringer repertoire is a curious blend of familiar favorites by some
of the world's greatest songwriters: Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Rodgers &
Hart, Jerome Kern, Henry Mancini, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Irving Berlin and
Frank Loesser...just to name a few. Songs ranging in style from big band
classics to sixties lounge...from humorous, light hearted crowd pleasers to
beautiful ballads...from Latin favorites to obscure, forgotten buried
treasures.
Since the release of their premiere C.D. "Atomic Cocktail" on the Wowsville
label, they have been featured regularly on KLON 88.1 FM Jazz Radio's
"Atomic Lounge" and on KLAC 570 AM as well as a long list of radio stations
around the United States and Canada. WVBC's Bethany Lounge, KANU's Retro
Cocktail Hour and WAER have all featured the disc in its entirety to a rave
response from their listeners.
