Early Show: Hot Damn Scandal

About

Hot Damn Scandal finds its songs under park benches and in forgotten alleyways, on the corner of Tom Waits and Gershwin. The resulting outlaw ballads, dirty jazz, circus freakouts, shanty-rags, string band funk, lonesome heart-breakers, and whiskey bottle love songs blend together in what may be best described as 'Cabaret Americana': theatrical, orchestral, lyrical, and endlessly danceable. The group began as a nebula of traveling musicians formed around the songs of founder Pete Irving over 15 years ago. Firmly rooted in Bellingham, WA since 2016, the group has become a staple in the ever evolving NW music scene. With influences ranging from Roma Swing to Motown, from Klezmer too Country, they'll be in your ears and on your mind for good after you've seen them once. www.instagram.com/hotdamnscandal/ https://www.instagram.com/hotdamnscandal/ Hot Damn Scandal finds its songs under park benches and in forgotten alleyways, on the corner of Tom Waits and Gershwin.
