Our focus is early jazz, blues, and ragtime. We do mainly tunes from (phone number hidden)0, including W.C. Handy, some familiar and rare tunes, and instrumental rags (Scott Joplin, etc.) We are often hired for Prohibition, Steampunk, Historic and Senior events but also can entertain anyone who enjoys this music! We can do history shows that feature more information about songs and composers of the ragtime era. If we know what you are looking for, we can often tailor a show to your needs. (We are not a cover/jukebox band.) We currently perform as a trio (piano, percussion, baritone saxophone) or as a duo (piano and percussion).

September 28, 2018The Ragged Blade Band was the perfect sound for the DeMoulin Museum's concert on the grounds series. Very talented musicians. Easy to work with. We'll definitely have them back!
