WHITE GHOST SHIVERS have been peeling faces off of the unexpecting for seven years now. We revel in string band music from the 20's and 30's, mixing early jazz, hokum, vaudeville, ragtime, western swing, and hillbilly, while at the same time unleashing the gutterous underbelly of a pseudo-rock world gone wrong...yee ha !!

Seth Walker's music combines the driving delivery and infectious guitar style of B.B. King and T-Bone Walker with a gift for songwriting that stamps his music with a sound all his own. Walker himself describes his music as "a different point of blue."

Formed in Austin, Texas late 2003, Paris49 gathers 5 guys who share the same passion for American Jazz and its interpretation by Django Reinhardt's various bands of the 30's and 40's. The sound is the blend of 2 electrified Gypsy guitars and the tenor saxophone, a thick and surreal effect. Upright bass and drums work intricately together, flirting with a Be-Bop beat, while never really stating it.
