Read
the following review from CD Baby: |
| "Bringing
together Portland natives as well as transplants from Colorado
to the deep south, the Rose City’s newest 20s and 30s
jazz getup is already tickling ears and funny bones with the
release of their debut album, Magnolia. To see them live, in
character, is a delightful treat but lucky for us, all of the
personality shines through in this recording. From Dee Settlemier’s
spunky, sometimes growling vocals, appropriate for a uke strumming,
flapper dressed front-woman, to the signature, perky Hawaiian
steel guitar punctuation courtesy of Henry Bogdan, to Doug Sammons'
top hat and gentlemanly vocals, this combo not only brings the
charm of vintage jazz and swing but the spirit, the background
and all of the wonderful connotations and quirks to boot. Well
suited to their name, the Midnight Serenaders specialize in
happy music for hard times: appropriate for the 20s and 30s
as much as it is relevant today." |
