Richard Barnes’ Blackbird Society Orchestra is Philadelphia's Premier 1920s Hot Jazz / Dance Orchestra dedicated to the preservation of the music of "The Jazz Age," "The Roaring 20s," "The Gatsby Era”, Flappers, Prohibition, Gangsters, Model A's and the invention of an American art form known as "Jazz!” At this sixth return visit to TSJS, the BSO will once again display its masterful interpretations of this golden musical age.. It’s a real treat to see an 11-piece band; the BSO consistently draws our largest audiences. Come early; it's sure to be a sell-out!

Some of the best trad jazz performers in the northeast - straight from their engagement at Birdland! They play the kind of music played by New Orleans musicians in the 1920s, and by revivalists in the 1940s -- honoring the memories of musicians like Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet, Johnny Dodds, Bunk Johnson, George Lewis, and more.

This band reminds us of a time when phonograph records and motion pictures were in their infancy and live performance ruled. Lauren Sansaricq brought her (then titled) Jazz Age Artistes to Tri-State in May 2023 and they were a big hit - don't miss them today!
“Miss Maybell (Lauren Sansaricq) has a vocal style that is similar to that of the classic blues singers of the era, ranging from Ethel Waters to Bessie Smith without copying any one vocalist. She puts plenty of bluesy feeling into the songs (which include both vintage blues and vaudeville-type songs), she swings, and she also plays washboard. Pianist Charlie Judkins is a ragtime and stride pianist and is very much a complete band by himself in addition to begin a tasteful accompanist.” (LA Jazz Scene)
And Miss Maybell and Charlie are joined by accompanists Charlie Judkins, Dan Levinson, Brian Nalepka and Andy Stein, recreating the ensemble that was such a success at Birdland in NYC last November. Today they make their Tri-State Jazz debut!
