Puttin' On The Ritz

More sophisticated by the second, etc.

All The Good News, etc.

So you may or may not know this, but Puttin' On The Ritz made a record. It is called Bangin' Your Way Into The Future and we are really proud of it. Our friends Moppa Elliott, Peter Evans, and Jon Irabagon were kind of enough to join us in the studio and play double bass, trumpet, and saxophone respectively.

The record is out now courtesy of Hot Cup Records. To celebrate this we are taking the show on the road again, this time with all five of us in tow. If you live in any of these cities (or know anyone who does), please come (or tell them to). The Puttin' On The Ritz Quintet is a joy to behold, I promise you.
