Artist description A name like The Tumblers and its connotations of drinking and gambling would reveal a possible inspiration for the name of the band. Onomatopoeia would be another. These cats rumble, tumble and barrelhouse their way through the set. If your feet don't start stomping, they must be nailed to the floor! The band is pumping out (or pimping out as the case may be) music a la rockabilly, jump blues, swing, and even a 70's TV theme song. Band leader Marc 'Stretch' Nischan takes care of the sangin' and mad guitar slangin,' while Jason Lewis slaps out the backbeat that'll move you from your seat to your feet. Rounded off with Mike King on the upright bass, this trio knocks out the rock!

Music Style Rockabilly/Swingabilly

Musical Influences Stray Cats, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Kiss, Van Halen and all that rocks!

Artist History The members of the Detroit based rockabilly trio The Tumblers come from the Mid-Michigan area. All over it as a matter of fact. Frontman Marc "Stretch" Nischan hails from Lansing, where he played in Bad Oskar, dt's and Dumpster Cowboys. He is a transplant to the Detroit area. When he started up the Tumblers in 1998, he needed a drummer and a doghouse bass player to form a new band. From his days playing with the Deans, Stretch remembered drummer Jason Lewis. Jason is a Saginaw boy who ended up in Lansing after a stint with The Deans, before they moved to Chicago. They formed The Tumblers in 1998, and started rockin' the Midwest clubs and houseparties from Detroit to Chicago and points in between.
