Teresa James & the Rhythm Tramps

Grammy Award-nominated keyboardist Teresa James and her band, the Rhythm Tramps have long reigned over Los Angeles’s blues scene. She presently has 4 songs in the top 10 on Blues Music’s California Song Chart.

Teresa James and her band move effortlessly from Texas-style grease and blues into Memphis soul or New Orleans-flavored grooves and all points in between. The late great Levon Helm of “The Band” said “Teresa James is a true original. When she sings you can feel it in your bones.” The Rhythm Tramps band consists of world-class players that have toured and recorded with critically-acclaimed musicians like Randy Newman, Smokey Robinson, Neil Diamond, Bonnie Raitt, Tower of Power, and more.
