Mark Rubin & his Ridgetop Syncopators
Drawing their inspiration from the rough and ready dance bands that populated Texas and the southwest, Mark Rubin & his Ridgetop Syncopators assiduously avoid a burlesque of rival and simply strive to present a lively combination of Blues, Breakdowns and Ballads, much in the same way that the pioneer bandleaders Milton Brown, Bob Wills and Cliff Bruner did in the early 30's. Oft misnomered "Western Swing" the Austin based ensemble prefers the term Texas Swing and have thrown down on stages across the continent.
