Oo-Bop-Sh'Bam play classic live boogie-woogie and rhythm ‘n’ blues, taking their influences from the small combos of the 40s and 50s, where swinging and singing ruled the day!
Their jumpin' jivin' sound has a classic bounce dance feel. These journeymen of jump have many years of gigging between them, having played with and backed some of the best UK, European and American artists around today.
Oo-Bop-Sh’Bam’s new live double-CD was recorded at the famous 100 Club in London. It features 29 tracks and captures the band at the height of their powers with two dynamite sets of high-energy swingin' R&B !!
Oo-Bop-Sh'Bam's self-titled debut album features 14 tracks of pure Rhythm ‘n’ Joy !!
