The Capitol Hillbillies have been raising the roof with their rousing mix of barrelhouse blues, hot jazz, and jug band music for almost 40 years at venues across the D.C. area. They embody the spirit of New Orleans with steam-engine energy and carnival charm in rollicking shindigs that explore the roots of American music spanning the blues from the Delta to Chicago, Cajun and Appalachian tunes, early country and gospel, and a tantalizing taste of bluegrass.
