Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums

Arena Theater proudly presents the awe-inspiring Steve Lucky & The Rhumba Bums featuring Miss Carmen Getit. Come on out for this fabulous night of dancing and entertainment presenting jump blues, swing, jazz and rare gems inspired by the '30s, '40s and '50s.
Steve Lucky & The Rhumba Bums were among the first neo-swing bands to modernize and re-invent the jump swing genre while staying true to their musical roots. With a warm and loving sound that would please Louis Jordan, they manage to convey a sense of cool hipness through their fun, playful music. Led by the mischievous Steve Lucky on piano and vocals and the vivacious Miss Carmen Getit on lead guitar and vocals, the band's chemistry is hot enough to melt metal. They are an amazing band with an amazing horn and rhythm section that can't be beat.
Called "Instant Crowd Favorites" by the San Francisco Blues Festival and "Consummate musicians and entertainers" by New York City's Lincoln Center, Lucky and Getit really shine before a live audience, bringing an intense energy and sheer personal magnetism to the stage, exercising wit in a continuous battle of the sexes. They've earned a reputation as captivating entertainers with "superior musicianship" (Downbeat), engaging audiences at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Half Note Jazz Club in Athens, Greece, the San Francisco Blues Festival, as the house band at the Derby in Hollywood, and hundreds of nightclubs, festivals, and performing arts centers around the world.
