Step into the roaring energy of 1920s jazz as The Joymakers bring the high-stepping spirit of America’s Southern and Southwestern dance halls to life. Led by two-time Grammy-nominated music historian, multi-instrumentalist, and arranger Colin Hancock, this Austin-based ensemble revives the bold, joyous “hot” regional sounds that defined early jazz—where ragtime met blues and country string traditions to create an irresistibly vibrant groove. Rooted in the stomp rhythms that once echoed through Dallas, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, and San Antonio, The Joymakers deliver an authentic celebration of jazz’s most spirited era.
