Squirrel Nut Zippers: Jazz from the Back O’ Town

Delve into the rich history of The Squirrel Nut Zippers (SNZ), whose journey began in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, during the vibrant music scene of the mid-1990s. What started as a casual musical venture by Jimbo Mathus, Katherine Whalen, and Chris Phillips, evolved into a pioneering force, blending jazz chords, folk melodies, and punk rock sensibilities. The Zippers will provide a delightful view into 1920s New Orleans, with reverent, yet exciting, renditions from their catalog, adapted and arranged to more closely echo the sounds of the mystical era.
