Jazz, TX Presents: George & His New Heartaches
Tue, Nov 17
"The vintage production makes George & His New Heartaches sound like it's emanating from an old radio in a Norman Rockwell painting." — Bandcamp Daily
George & his New Heartaches play the country music of the 1940s and '50s dance halls, and they play it for dancing. Back home in Berlin, they throw two-step and swing parties. In their own words, they play "boot scuffing, heart aching tunes" for dancing cowboys and girls.
George Aschmann comes from Shenandoah County, Virginia, and has played American roots music his whole life. That includes years on the streets of New Orleans with the band Frog and Henry. Now his fiddle and voice lead the band, with high lonesome harmonies on top. Jack B. Latimer plays rhythm guitar with a jazz player's swing. Seb Müller brings steel guitar from the Hawaiian music scene, and Marty Herzog takes the electric solos. "Big Toni" Tönißen keeps the string bass shuffling. For this tour, Coleman Akin of New Orleans adds a second fiddle.
