The 9th Street Stompers are an outfit of well-dressed no-counts chopping on acoustic instruments and singing about life, death, love, and liquor. Hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee, they cull up the musical scenery of an era when the lines between swing, gypsy jazz, blues, rockabilly, and tango weren’t nearly as hard and fast as the drinking and dancing. Steering clear of much of the novelty and kitsch associated with pre-war music, they choose to demonstrate the modern relevance of their chosen medium.
Perfect for Weddings, Graduation Parties, Birthday Parties, Corporate Events, Ladies Nights, "1920's-1940's" Themed Events, Holiday Parties, and Speakeasy Parties!

“If Chattanooga wasn't eclectic enough with its taste in music, The 9th Street Stompers will grab that part of you that's a little gypsy, a little hill-billy, and a little rock 'n' roll. Influenced by the great Django Reinhardt and other greats such as Stephane Grappelli and Oscar Aleman, the Stompers play with a musically impressive approach and do justice to a style of music that would baffle most.”

“These guys are bringing the sound of the Big Nine back in a big way. The Stompers sing about life, death, love and liquor; and the band’s music teeters on swing, gypsy jazz, blues, rockabilly and tango. Plan to wear comfortable shoes because these guys are sure to cause some drinking and dancing in the aisles.”

“Now y'all don't arrive late, because we start Scenic City Roots as if on the very streets of Chattanooga with the hot swing and vintage blues string band, The 9th Street Stompers. The name harkens back to the once-bustling black business district in Chattanooga, where the booze and the blues flowed copiously. The sound of the band recalls when jazz was feisty and immediate, with accessible chords and rhythms and melodies. Keep your ears peeled for the band's fiddler, John Boulware, a remarkable musician who's soloed with symphonies and won Tennessee old-time fiddling championships.”

With Skip Frontz Jr. furiously slapping the string bass and Lon Eldridge on blues finger-style resonator guitar, ukulele, and kazoo, they share vocal duties. Dalton Chapman is a Gypsy Swing virtuoso who diligently studied the great Django Reinhardt and finally, the always enchanting Sampire swings the brush snare with the grace and finesse of a sultry metronome. If her drumming doesn't catch your attention, her eyes certainly will.
If you like high-energy showmanship and top-notch musical prowess, The 9th Street Stompers will see you front row!!!
