Their root sound has a mix of doo-wop, 60s soul-funk, crisp beats, sweet voices, & the swing cake’s brassy yeast rises hot in this musical oven. New York’s Hoodoo Loungers have a mainstream surface, but their essence is what is paramount.

Paradiddle Records are onto a winner with the HooDoo Loungers and I can only hope they carry on “Rockin’ the Mardi Gras” the way they are

This album is full of positive vibes, which we desperately need these days. It is an hour of music to remind us of what the world can and should be.

Our latest album, SO BEAUTIFUL was recorded during the lock down. It offers a bit of fun and optimism at a time that we all need it the most!
