In the spring of 1966, six enthusiastic traditional jazz musicians made their debut as a band. The name was quickly found: The Lucerne band was christened the "Lake City Stompers" - with an international flair - LAKE CITY STOMPERS.
Here are some exciting milestones from the band's 59-year history: The "Stompers" made their first appearance at what was then the Telécafe, now the Kleintheater. In the year they were founded, they were engaged by the JAZZ CLUB LUZERN for the first time. What a long-standing relationship! Countless invitations to various international jazz festivals followed. The special highlight: a three-week tour of the USA. The "Stompers" also took part in several radio and television broadcasts. All this testifies to the quality of the
"Lake City Stompers".

For a long time, the band was committed to the style of the American founders of traditional jazz such as King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong. The repertoire was continually expanded. Compositions by Bechet, Ellington, Barber, Acker Bilk and many more were included in the program.

We can therefore look forward to hearing which titles from the band's extensive repertoire we will get to hear. But one thing is certain: the performance will be hot, groovy and, last but not least, humorous.

Tickets are available on site from 60 minutes before the start of the event.
