The New Memphis Hepcats, a 16-piece swing outfit led by vocalist and trumpeter Jeremy Shrader, have just announced a performance at the Rumba Room in Memphis, TN on October 7. Performance time is set for 7:30 - 9:30, following free swing dance lessons at 7, tickets are $7 and may be purchased at the door.

The ‘Hepcats’ began in 1997 as an ensemble dedicated to the performance and preservation of vintage swing music from the 1920s-60s. The band has also featured compositions from its members and affiliates, many alumni of the University of Memphis jazz program. Now in it’s 14th year of existence, the band performs primarily at private events in the Memphis area and have traveled to Little Rock, Washington, D.C., Knoxville, Columbia, SC, and St. Louis. The New Memphis Hepcats have also released two CDs, 1999’s ‘Live at the Hi Tone’ – where the band spent over two years as a regular fixture on Monday nights at the Memphis nightclub, and ‘Swingopoly’ – released in 2003.
