The Hi-Jivers ( USA )
Straight out of Nashville comes this quartet that brings steaming 1950s and ’60s rhythm-and-blues and rock ’n’ roll back to life. At the center stands Dawna Zahn, a soulful powerhouse with the pipes of Big Mama Thornton and the fire of Etta James. Her husband Austin John flanks her on guitar with the finest old-school licks and a thick, greasy tone. Propelled by a brand-new rhythm section, The Hi-Jivers come to Ospel with one mission: to get everyone sweating, swinging and jiving.
