Hold on to your seat and get ready for a rollicking evening of
outrageous humor and song. A marvel of musical ingenuity, yodeling
cowboy songster Sourdough Slim and string instrument wizard Robert
Armstrong joyously rekindle the country blues, vintage jazz, cowboy
classics and string band repertoire of pre-WWII America. Whether
capturing the haunting refrain of a Jimmie Rodgers blue yodel or
swinging out a hot novelty number, everyone gets caught up in the fun
these two cut-ups have on stage. A fast-paced performance of music and
comedy that showcases this duo’s seasoned gift for connecting with their
audiences. All dished up with a hearty dose of vaudevillian stagecraft
making for a delightfully entertaining experience. Long time fans will
remember them as founding members of two of California’s favorite
acoustic combo’s, 8th Avenue String Band and R. Crumb’s Cheap Suit
Serenaders. Between them they share a provocative array of period
instruments including: flat-top guitar, national steel, baritone and
soprano ukulele, musical saw, accordion, six-string banjo and harmonica.
Well traveled veterans of stages ranging from Carnegie Hall and The
Lincoln Center to The National Cowboy Gathering, Strawberry Music
Festival and Prairie Home Companion. These modern day vaudevillians
capture a sound and moment in time that consistently delights fun loving
music fans everywhere they perform.
The award-winning historic Sutter Creek Theatre is an intimate 215
seat former silent film theatre with superb sound. Voted Best Indie
Theatre multiple times (KCRA A-List).
