    About this Act

    Chester based Western swing band The Rip Roaring Success are the hottest band east of El Paso. It features Wild Miss Lucille on double bass, Miss Jay on the fiddle and the hillbilly vocalist Rusty on the six string flaming guitar. Folk at venues and festivals up and down the country will testify that when you want the prairie set on fire with jumpin' ho-down tunes then there ain't no success like a rip roarin' one.

    Testimonials 

    “They have really captured very accurately the feel of the Hot Club of France and mixed it with Hank Williams and Louis Jordan to produce a fabulous end product that will enhance any event both musically and visually”

    “This devilishly talented trio left us satisfyingly exhausted, compelled to jig hither and thither on the tiniest of dancefloors.”

    "They were sensational at our wedding reception - they went down an absolute storm"
