Fans of the Ragged Ass Swing Band will recognize this temporarily re-branded group from being one of the most popular acts from the 2023 Folk on the Rocks, and from their ongoing gala evening concerts. And now with a whopping 23 people in the band, we proudly have so many members now that we have to trade off who plays on stage during the show!
