Le Serpent Rouge - An Evening of Beguiling Dance and Strangely Familiar Music

Apr 25, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- If Queen Victoria, Edward Gorey, Django Reinhardt and Little Egypt got together for a tea party, who would entertain them?

The Indigo Belly Dance and Miles Copeland bring you Le Serpent Rouge. Vintage cabaret meets vagabond elegance in a strange brew of bellydance and Ragtime, Vaudevillian, Mid-Eastern and Gypsy music. Sometimes enchanting, sometimes macabre, often raucous, but always delightful, these performers breathe new life into the movement and spectacle of a bygone era in this knockdown revue.

The Inkwell Rhythm Makers are not a jug band, but they do play "jug band" music on top of 20's & 30's jazz, ragtime, novelty, string band music, and country blues along with some original tunes in the same vein.
