So happy to be back at the pub with this band again! Debra Dobkin, Billy Watts and Jen Condos and I have been having so much fun playing together and this time we have our dear friend and world renowned steel guitarist, Cindy Cashdollar, on the show with us... You owe it to yourself to come and check this out! No cover charge and lots of free parking...

CD RELEASE PARTY! I am SO excited to be able to announce the release of our new CD, "Rose Colored Glasses, Volume 2"... It is a continuation of the recordings that we started during the pandemic (plus a lot of new ones) and I believe it is our best work yet. (I know I say that every time, but for real this time,,,). We will be selling the new CD and will have the big band with Darrell Leonard and Paulie Cerra on horns as well as some very special guests... It is going to be a great night so you're not going to want to miss this! $15 at the door. Come on down!

I am so thrilled to be performing again with guitar virtuoso, Bruce Forman (Barney Kessel, Ray Brown, Freddie Hubbard, Cow Bop, and lots of others). It will be just the two of us performing a bunch of old jazz standards in the style of early July Londond classic recordings. We have done this a few times now, so I am really looking forward to the chance to do it again. $15 at the door. Hope to see you there!

Teresa James & the Rhythm Tramps

The Write-Off Room, 11502 Ventura Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA

We are back at the new location of this legendary club - now located in Studio City (at the old Oil Can Harry's)... It's a great listening room, but with room to dance, too... We have the big band with a great line-up: Billy Watts on guitar (back from his European tour), Terry Wilson on bass, Tony Braunagel on drums, Darrell Leonard on trumpet, Ron Dziubla on saxes, with special guest, Snuffy Walden sitting in... gonna be a great night! $15 at the door - hope you can join us!

Well... it's summer and everybody is hitting the road, so we have a very special edition of Queen Cake for you this Thursday... I will be there with Debra Dobkin, along with Josh Sklair on guitar (Etta James' guitar player/MD for many years and an awesome guy), along with Terry Wilson on bass and Tom Fillman on drums... It is going to be a great night of music so hope you can join us. No cover and lots of free street parking... come on!

We are so happy to be back at The Write-Off Room! The new location in Studio City is up and running and is a beautiful venue... you definitely need to come and check it out. (You dancers are going to LOVE it!) We will be doing a slightly different version of the Rhythm Tramps - featuring Snuffy Walden on guitar and Jeff Paris on keys and vocals, along with Terry Wilson on bass, Darrell Leonard on Trumpet and Paulie Cerra on sax. Tickets start at $15

Finally! The new Write-Off Room is open in its new location! And I m thrilled to be performing there with Darrell Leonard's Line-Up - a not-your-daddy's big band that is packed with some of LA's premiere musicians. Darrell picks some of the coolest songs to translate in the big band style and I know it is going to be a fun night... And there is a nice, but dance floor for all you folks who like to move with the music... $25 at the door (but well worth it!)

This is such a cool idea - It is a movie theater where they set up a stage in front of the screen and they feature all kinds of guitar music. We played this place a few weeks ago and it was a very fun night of music. This time the show opens with Brian Baraby, an amazing classical guitarist, and then we play and are followed by Blackwater Reds - a metal band... something for everybody! And the theater is very comfortable - it has stadium seating and you can have food and drinks (including cocktails) served to you at your seat... $10 - $20 cover charge.

Teresa James and Bruce Forman

Boulevard Music, 4316 Sepulveda Blvd, Culver City, CA 90230

I am thrilled to be performing again with Bruce Forman - he is a brilliant musician and a master of the guitar. Gary Mandell probably put it best: "One of the few really great jazz players out there whose playing sounds classic.” We will be performing jazz standards - new territory for me, but he is so brilliant, he makes it easy. This is definitely a one-of-a kind show that I am really looking forward to at a very cool musical venue. Hope you can make it... $25 cover - check the Boulevard Music website for ticket info.
