Dec 27 | Bogie's Holiday Show ft. Teresa James and the Rhythm Tramps | 5:00pm
The first band to be called 'the Rhythm Tramps' was formed by Terry Wilson and Tony Braunagel when they were living in London back in the 70's. They were touring at the time with the rock band, Back Street Crawler (which also featured the legendary Paul Kossoff on guitar and John 'Rabbit' Bundrick who has been a long time keyboard player with The Who) and they missed playing the Texas style blues that they had grown up with, so they formed the 'Rhythm Tramps' and performed in local pubs. It got to be quite a hang for London musicians – legendary singer, Frankie Miller was one of the regulars, which also included whoever happened to be in town. The transient nature of the players spawned the name, 'the Rhythm Tramps'.
