[Dixielandjazz] Mighty Aphrodite Jazz Band

[Bob Romans]

I would highly recommend this band to play any festival! I'm not familiar 
with all of the band members, but Brea and Claire have played with Cell 
Block 7 several times, and they are great performers! The drummer, Beth Good 
is from LODI...just finishing her degree in music/percussion at San Jose 
State.
 Two years ago Beth Good won the audition to perform with the Sisters in 
Jazz band...which toured Europe and performed the Kennedy Center afterwards.

Hire them!
