Hadacol Tremblers are a modern-day combo based in Antwerp (Belgium), inspired by Western Swing – the lively mix of old-time fiddle music, early jazz influences and dancehall country that swept through Texas in the thirties and forties. Four Belgian roots musicians took up the challenge to bring that early sound back to life, working with fiddle, guitar, banjo, lap steel and upright bass to capture the drive and warmth of the original recordings. The music gets hot, the songs hit hard and it’s difficult to stay still for long. Their repertoire includes tunes by Bob Wills, Milton Brown, the Farr Brothers, Merle Travis and other pioneers who shaped the genre. Explore the site, discover the band, and catch a show if you want to hear Western Swing played much as it once was – direct, energetic and made for a good time.

“For delivering sheer fun one would be hard pressed to cite many recent albums any more effective than this release … Here you have a vintage-style Western Swing/string band… vocals, fiddle, acoustic guitar, banjo, mando, double bass and lap steel… from Belgium!”
