Artist description
Jay and the Atomic Fireballs, a unique musical trio based in Connecticut, are known for their brand of high octane rockabilly music and their much talked about live show. The band's energetic live performances are unlike any show in the current popular music scene and have been referred to as the most entertaining rockabilly show around. The group emphasizes "entertainment" including bass fiddle stunts, instrument swapping, and a good-humored repertoire, playing a great blend of 50's rock and roll.
