The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few.

Kings of Crownsville
2019-07-12 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Halifax) | 49 West – The Back Room, 49 West St., Annapolis, MD, 21401, United States
Annapolis-based act Kings of Crownsville are a roots Rock band with a New Orleans flavor.
The brainchild of New Orleans-raised guitarist/singer/songwriter Steve Johnson, the Kings play a rollicking, entertaining set that stirs Americana, Blues, and Jazz
into their mix of Johnson’s witty original tunes as well as a few well-chosen covers with a hint of Louisiana spice.
Their signature horn section transports listeners to the streets of the Big Easy, while they also add precise three- and four-part harmonies to their musical gumbo.
Think Louis Armstrong meets Steely Dan.
The Kings of Crownsville features Johnson backed by Ed Justice on trumpet, flugelhorn and vocals; Jim Tavener on trombone, percussion, and vocals; Mike McCormick on keyboards and vocals; David Vermette on bass and vocals; and Rob Creath behind the drums.
“Homegrown Americana boogie blues and big band rockin’ swing jazz is a chunky description of the Kings … a robust, polished sound that makes for easy toe-tapping and dancing.”
Stephen Perraud. The Live Wire. June 2011
