Biography
Voodoo Swing is a premiere Rockabilly trio established in 1990. The trio consists of Shorty on lead guitar and vocals, while Leeroy pounds on skin and hollers and Ruth lays down the grooves on bass. They have shared the stage with modern legends such as Big Sandy, The Frantic Flattops, The Paladins, Lee Rocker, Three Blue Teardrops, The Reverend Horton Heat, Russell Scott and his Red Hots, the Dave and Deke Combo, and The Hillbilly Hellcats to name a few. Playing a unique rip-it-up style of Neo-Rockabilly quickly got Voodoo Swing the attention of Nervous Records in London, and they were quickly signed.
Voodoo Swing’s debut album “We’re Usin’ Code Names!” came out on Nervous in 1993. It was followed by their second album, “Well, Okay Then!” released on Holland’s Rockhouse Records label. Voodoo Swing’s music has also been on dozens of Rockabilly compilations, including “American Rumble,” and “Only Freeways to Skinner Cat!” The band also provided the soundtrack for the lowrider documentary film “Low and Slow.” In 1998, Shorty was voted “Best Electric Guitar Player” in Salt Lake’s “City Weekly Magazine” readers poll. In the 90’s, Voodoo Swing toured the Western U.S. and played rockabilly festivals around the country. At that time, the band called Salt Lake its home base. While playing a show in Wells, Nevada in the mid-nineties, a little-known gambler and the 4th King of Buthan, Jigme Wangchuck overheard the combo over the ding-ding-ding of his video poker machine. The King peered into the concert hall and was mesmerized by what he heard.

These guys are so fantastic. The bassist, Ruth, is just stunning. Definitely worth it seeing Voodoo Swing live. It's so neat that they hit up all the little towns in the US while on tour.
