As Billboard Magazine suggested of this sensational band: “If the passing of Frank Sinatra took the bounce out of your lindy hop, this act might be the cure.†Headed by accomplished musician & founder Craig Marshall, the Lucky Strikes have made a name for themselves as an Austin band who can deliver a suave and sophisticated sound reminiscent of the great bands of the 1940’s but with a contemporary style & flair all their own.
