Chicago's Jump, Rhythm & Blues Band

About Me


Layout By: EditingMyProfile.com
The Rhythm Rockets hail from Chicago, IL. The Rockets style of music reflects the diversity of Jazz & Blues that Chicago is famous for. Heavily influenced by the sax driven Jump, Rhythm & Blues bands of the late 1940's & early 1950's, the Rhythm Rockets bring to the stage the high energy roots music that influenced the founding fathers of Rock & Roll.
This six piece band, formed and established in 1996, has delighted audiences across the country. Performing in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Connecticut.The Rhythm Rockets have recorded three CD's (two are out of print) and at the time of this writing have completed their fourth CD due out Summer of 2006. In 2001, Columbia Tristar included 3 Rhythm Rockets' original songs on their FOX-TV show, The Tick. Which has been released on DVD.
The Rhythm Rockets have been performing at some of Chicagoland's top venues such as; Green Dolphin Street, Pheasant Run, United Center and Frankie's Blue Room. The Rhythm Rockets performed every Wednesday night for nine years at Frankie's Blue Room.
