as they record their first album LIVE.
This is a night you won’t want to miss!
In the words of Scar from the Lion King… “Be Prepared”…
This is sure to be an event to remember.
On May the 4th (intergalactic Star Wars Day)* Uncle Gus and The Rimshots will be hitting the stage of The Founders Room hard as they record their first album.
After a long planning session by the band, it was decided that the best way to capture Uncle Gus and The Rimshots’ unique atmospheric blend of energy, interaction and ban(d)ter, was to invite a crowd along to Jump-Jive, sing, dance and laugh along with the band on what is sure to be a memorable night.
Uncle Gus and The Rimshots have been busy preparing a hectic set list of Jump-Jive and Swing tunes as well as some new originals to perform for you at this event. It is certain that by the end of the night Your Passion will be Poppin’.
