Queen City Hot Club plays American and European standards in the Gypsy Jazz style created by Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, and their legendary "Quintet Hot Club de France". Rooted in 1930’s Swing, Queen City Hot Club also incorporates contemporary Gypsy sounds popular in Europe today. This fiery acoustic music has started to make inroads in North America - and now in Vermont! Melodic and improvisational with a driving rhythm it appeals to listeners of all ages and musical tastes. Queen City Hot Club has been playing extensively in Vermont for the last couple of years and has recently undergone an exciting new change in line-up.

“Inspired by the soul of the South and the spirit of gypsies, Lily and the Tigers play what they call gothic Americana music. The band's foundation rests in the words, voice and guitar of Casey Hood and the restless beats of upright bassist Adam Mincey. The two call Atlanta, Georgia home and the musicians around town family. Their debut album, Sojourner, is a reflection of this community with contributions from several of their friends. From trumpets and accordions to harpsichords and harmonicas, every song tells a different story. Since the band’s 2009 conception and their first national tour, Lily and the Tigers has blossomed into a full sound including bass clarinetist Mikhail Ally, lead guitarist Jared Pepper, drummer Peter Webb and fiddler Ryan Gregory. Together these six summon a fiery energy that requires no amps to be heard and taken to heart. They are currently at play, recording their first album as a full band which they plan to release in spring of 2012. The band looks forward to following this release with a summer tour, rambling up the northeast coast.”
