Best Dance in Town: Rockabilly
Ponderosa Stomp @ Lincoln Center

Featuring The Collins Kids, Carl Mann, and Joe Clay, with Deke Dickerson and the Eccofonics

“A party on its way to becoming an institution.” —The New York Times on the annual Ponderosa Stomp concert

This array of rockabilly Hall-of-Famers includes The Collins Kids, comprised of the double neck guitar whiz Larry and his sister Lorrie; legendary Sun Records singer Carl Mann; and a rare New York appearance by Cajun stomp rocker Joe Clay, all playing with the house band Deke Dickerson and the Eccofonics.

Ponderosa Stomp, a New Orleans musical tradition, highlights the world’s most authentic musicians of rockabilly, R&B, jazz, blues, garage, soul, funk, and swamp pop. This annual festival has become a must-see event, a showcase for living history and thriving art, reviving careers, and praising the unsung heroes who planted the very roots of American music.

Ponderosa Stomp @ Lincoln Center is a collaboration of Midsummer Night Swing and Lincoln Center Festival in association with Ponderosa Stomp Foundation.
