Artist History The band started playing oldies clubs in Corona, CA. in 1992 mostly for kicks. They moved slowly into swing and audiences liked it. Lead singer Jim Birmingham (toured with Bo Diddley/Black Sabath) found he had a strong swing voice and producer/musician Toxey French (Fifth Dimension/Rick Nelson/Harry Nillson) had extensive arranging and studio experience. Fans approached them to bankroll the CD and this is the result.

Group Members Jim Birmingham, Lead vocals; Marge Kell, feature vocals; Toxey French, producer, arranger, keyboard, tenor sax; Mark Haderlie, guitar; Steve Malinowski, trumpet, guitar; Inland Empire musicians for the rest of the sounds.

Instruments Vocals, drums, bass, keyboards, guitar, varied brass/woodwinds.
