Want to get your party started? Steve Lucky & Miss Carmen Getit are a recipe for good times. Lucky’s soulful piano and vocals, and the vivacious Miss Getit’s vocals and acclaimed guitar shredding create a powerful sound that appeals to fans both young and old. They perform as a 6 piece band, Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums, with 2 saxes, bass, drums, piano, guitar and vocals. Swingin' Vintage Jazz, Sultry Blues, Jumpin' R&B, original tunes, and delicious covers.
Described as a “perfect union of skilled and fueled merrymaking" (SF Bay Guardian), they thrive at engaging an audience. Muddy Waters' legendary blues/boogie pianist Pinetop Perkins called Miss Getit his "favorite guitarist".
“Steve, Carmen, and the entire band are consummate musicians and entertainers”
Rebecca Weller, Producer Summer Mid-Summer Night Swing Festival, Lincoln Center, New York City
“Instant crowd favorites”
Tom Mazzolini, producer, San Francisco Blues Festival
“Carmen Getit wrings a mean, meaty moan from a Gibson.”
Adam Levy, Guitar Player Magazine
“Superior musicianship." "The Rhumba Bums abide by Cab Calloway's advice:
'Live what's in your soul and sing your friggin' heart out'"
Frank-John Hadley, 4 STARS, Down Beat Magazine
“Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums will have you jumping and jiving in no time!”
Joseph Jordan, 4 STARS, Blues Access Magazine
