The audience enjoyed every selection from their diverse set, calling for an encore by the costume-adorned
band. For the first encore selection, Myhre summoned Sister Rosetta Tharpe for a powerful, bluesy,
emotional feature which brought tears to the eyes of many in the room. Then they closed out with the fun-
filled “Hot Tamales (And They’re Red Hot)” from Robert Johnson.
Bumper Jacksons are something live that brings even more than their excellent videos. Not many bands can
tap into the past with respect, but also, put together something captivating and unique that will set them
apart from the rest. This group does that…and surely will be heard by many more in their tours to come!
This January, Bumper Jacksons will play up and down the East coast before heading out west for February.
Be sure to check for a date near you. They will also record a live album at the legendary Wolftrap in the DC
area on January 26th.
