Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums, featuring Carmen Getit – Called “Instant Crowd Favorites” by the San Francisco Blues Festival and “consummate musicians and entertainers” by New York City’s Lincoln Center, Steve Lucky and Carmen Getit really shine before a live audience, bringing an intense energy and sheer personal magnetism to the stage, exercising wit in a continuous battle of the sexes. They are captivating entertainers with “superior musicianship” (Downbeat), engaging audiences at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Half Note Jazz Club in Athens, Greece, the San Francisco Blues Festival, as the house band at the Derby in Hollywood, and hundreds of nightclubs, festivals, and performing arts centers around the world. A musician since childhood, Steve moved to San Francisco in 1993 and started the Rhumba Bums as a quintet, but admits the band really took shape in 1994 with the addition of Miss Carmen Getit on vocals and guitar. Miss Getit is a dynamic performer and versatile vocalist, interpreting “slick jazz a la Dinah Washington” or shouting down-and-out blues according to the Ann Arbor Observer.
