“Royal Crown Revue is one of the jazz industry’s best and adding them to our festival lineup will take our event to a whole new level," said Shelli Fine, executive director of the Lake Tahoe Jazz Festival. “Their energetic style and famous following will surely make our Friday night swing party a huge kick off – it is a party that jazz goers won’t want to miss."
Warner Brothers recording artists Royal Crown Revue are credited for spearheading today’s “retro style" jazz and has reached international stardom with seven successful albums and appearances in big screen movies such as The Mask with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz, Something’s Gotta Give with Jack Nickolson and Diane Keaton, and Mike Meyers’ smash hit The Cat In The Hat. The neo-swing super band has also had their tunes play in an Acura commercial. Royal Crown Revue continues to gain popularity and success in the jazz industry, selling out concerts and entertaining fans with their unique and lively sound.
