Hot Club of Cowtown refer to themselves as HCCT. That's probably because they believe in the old adage "less is more."
They learned to keep the mystery by watching Bob Dylan. They understand that you can dazzle with very little, but make sure whatever they're playing comes from the heart. Wishful Thinking is the title of their new album, and they are just coming off dual tours of Australia and the UK. They are also regulars on PBS' Prairie Home Companion.
Hot jazz & western swing is the HCCT moniker. We hear a lot of Bob Wills in their music. So did Bob Dylan---they toured (and survived) with Bob and Willie Nelson. Oh, and Elana brought her doggie on the Celebrity Coaches bus for the performance!
