Shout Sister Shout signs with M.C. Records

M.C. Records is proud to announcing the signing of the band Shout Sister Shout. Shout is comprised of 30 somethings Rachel Davis on lead vocals with the band Steppin’ In It providing the musical backing. Shout Sister Shout focuses on old-time American Jazz featuring torch swing numbers alongside bluesy ballads. Included will be two never before released bonus tracks and a MPEG video. Hit That Jive will be released worldwide on April 7, 2009.

You can check out a preview of the CD and more info on the band at www.myspace.com/shoutsistershout.

After playing concerts as a double bill, Rachael Davis and the boys from Steppin’ In It found a common love for Jazz music of the 1930’s and ‘40’s. The summer of 2006 found the two acts working at the same festivals, which led to joining each other for a classic tune by Nat King Cole or Billie Holiday during their respective sets. By mid summer, the quintet was dubbed ‘Shout Sister Shout’ and an album was in the works.

“The quintet is a tribute to the smoky, sophisticated sound of 1930s and '40s jazz, with plenty of influence from Cole Porter, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole Trio and Sarah Vaughan, and it's a trip to hear Davis channel those old greats. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a bunch of guys playing the hell out of vintage instruments as backup.” The Metro Times- Detroit, MI
