Doin' The Raccoon - Eugene Thu, Apr 30, 7:30 - 10:00 pm Soreng Theater, Hult Center |
|
The Jazz Kings end the season with sassy romp through the college and gin house parties of the Roaring Twenties! From “The Charleston” to “The Raccoon”, the 1920s was, quite literally, the decade of Hot Dancing and good times – and The Jazz Kings will resurrect the best tunes and dances of that wild and crazy era! You won’t want to miss such wonderfully crazy, light-hearted songs as “The Varsity Drag”, “Crazy Rhythm”, “My Cutesy’s Due At Two-to-Two”, and “Clap Hands, Here Comes Charley” … or such sweet, tear-jerker ballads like “Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue”, “Them There Eyes”, “Sugar”, and “I’ve Found A New Baby”. Certain to provide GREAT fun…and intriguing insights into the psyche of another age.
