Steamboat Whistlers

The Steamboat Whistlers are inspired by century-old musical impressions and sounds emanating in New Orleans, that evolved and travelled up the Mississippi and all around the globe.

Playing numerous hits and misses from long ago with the occasional original or tune, the band draws on a wide range of musical influences including traditional jazz, depression era blues, ragtime, folk and spirituals.

The Steamboat Whistlers bring a fun and energetic take on recreating the sounds of old, with conventional instrumentation usually including relics such as washboard, banjo and sousaphone. You will be guaranteed to get your toes tapping and maybe up on your feet dancing too.
