 The Route 66 Revelers are a group of seasoned - we're talking New Orleans Style - veterans of the traditional dixieland style, who present to you this exciting, hot, jazzy music at its very finest. A front line of trumpet, clarinet and trombone are accompanied by the traditional banjo, tuba and drums.The band, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was known as Swing 'n' Dixieland up until July 2007. Or was it Swingin' Dixieland? Nobody ever got it right, so now we're the Route 66 Revelers.
