Ricky Alexander | The Ragology Tour
Swing into an unforgettable evening with Ricky Alexander | The Ragology Tour! This live taping and intimate listening-room concert features NYC clarinet sensation Ricky Alexander, backed by Austin's Shane Dickens on piano, Daniel Durham on bass, and Grammy-nominated drummer Colin Hancock.
Celebrating Ricky's fourth album Ragology on Turtle Bay Records, the show dives into the roots of New Orleans jazz and ragtime's swinging legacy. With guest spots from Grammy winners like Conal Fowkes and banjo wizard Jerron 'Blind Boy' Paxton on the record, expect pure jazz magic!
