Random Howse welcomes JP and the OK Rhythm Boys.

Brush off the winter blues, relax after the busy holiday season, and come join JP and the OK Rhythm Boys at their first performance of the new year! JP and the “boys” will be playing at Random Howse Restaurant in Eastsound on Saturday, Jan. 11, from 6 to 8 pm.

JP and the OK Rhythm Boys features the fine, fiery, sweet and swinging fiddling of JP Wittman, ably backed by Gordon Koenig and Anita Orne on bass and guitar (and occasional mandolin, banjo, ukulele, and saw). They all sing, in soaring 3-part harmonies, as well.

The evening promises to be a grand one, with plenty of swing tunes, waltzes and hoedowns, jazz standards and originals, toe-tappers and tear-inducers.

All yours, to enjoy while supping on the fun food and sipping on the fine drinks offered in the beautiful surroundings of Random Howse. You can check out the band online.

Reservations are recommended: 376-1111.
