The Fog City Stompers have been playing since 1985. They were originally 
assembled by the leader, Tom Belmessieri, from members of a nighttime 
dance band but, with each personnel change over the years, the band has 
developed its own style. In addition to the great old standards, which 
include arrangements of the recordings of Bix Beiderbecke, they offer 
original compositions and new arrangements performed in the traditional 
Dixieland jazz style.

Tom Belmessieri - Trumpet / Leader
Guido Fazio - Clarinet
Jeff Walton - Trombone
Brian Cardello - Tuba
Roz Temple - Piano
Jack Convery - Banjo/Guitar
Adam Roderick - Percussion
One month later, NVDJS will feature The Eldorado Syncopators on Sunday, 
November 9th, 2008 from 1-5 PM at the same location.

Spacious Dance Floor.  The lodge has Food and a Full Bar.
