SWING & JUMP BLUES
Reviews on the hottest jump blues band in South FLA.
| The Regulators play that get-out-of-your-seat, get-up-and-dance, boogie-woogie-til-ya-drop, jump blues that's been filling dance floors since the '40's! |

"Dr. Lee" Lowenthal: Vocals & Harmonica -- Started playing
harp around 1969. You can't see behind those shades of his, but you know
what he's thinking: It's Jump Time, Baby!
Bobby Dean: Drums -- A pro musician the past 25 years, this multi-instrumentalist does it all in perfect pitch & has been since he was in single digits! Gary Rimmington: Upright Bass -- Delivers a stomp that gets The Regulators train a'rollin'! Gonzalo Bergara: Guitar -- This Argentine guitar slinger is smooth, baby, with influences ranging from T-Bone Walker to Junior Watson. Wayne Dagenais: Piano -- This accomplished Boogie-Woogie piano man from Canada is guaranteed to move your feet! |

The best blues band I've seen come out of the State of Florida!
-- Tinsley Ellis, May 1999 Frannipalooza
It's refreshing to hear a band like The Regulators in South Florida, where the blues label is often affixed to bands that basically play rock & roll.... The Regulators play jump blues with authority and a great sense of fun.... -- Bob Weinberg, XS Magazine, Dec 10 1996 |
The Regulators: Swing & Jump Blues... It'll get you on your feet.
-- Pulp Magazine, Spring 1996
Dr. Lee is the quintessential frontman, a great entertainer not afraid to smudge his knee on the floor boards.... The Regulators set list includes renditions of jump-swing classics from Little Walter and Wynonie Harris as well as contemporary ... revivalists William Clarke and Rod Piazza. -- Bob Weinberg, City Link, Nov 2000 |
The Regulators deliver their Live Blues Party in CD form. From the fast jump swing tunes to the slow sultry ones, The Regulators hit all the right notes. With their first CD, The Regs capture their on-stage appeal and bring it on home. Hip shakin', toe tappin', make you wanna dance blues! -- Dar of WKPX Sunday Blues, 88.5 FM, Jan 2000 |
