Lead singer Laura Palmer was the 2020 Ameripolitan Award Winner for best ‘Rockabilly Female.’ The band will be bringin’ their untamed live sound featuring high-octane sonic adventures that invoke the primitive energy of 1950s Rock ‘n Roll infused with the soul of early Rhythm & Blues.

The show will be hosted by Miss Rockabillaque 2022 Pinup Winner, Miss Louie Le’Breeze, and the night will also feature the Miss Swingin’ Holiday Pinup Contest, featuring contestants showing off their mid century glamor style, personality and attitude to compete for the title of Miss Swingin’ Holiday 2023.
