The band are based in Bristol playing mainly in the South West but periodically travelling farther afield.
The Lazy River Band provide an authentic intimate early jazz sound, with a large repertoire of songs mainly from the 20's to 40's, they can be hired as a mellow background band or can provide a more upbeat set perfect for dancing.
With a stunning sultry vocal delivery from Rachel Lawrence, perfectly supported by Bill Frampton and Gus Dolding's skillful and unique comping, Greg Sterland's accomplished Tenor sax playing completes their unique vintage sound.
