The story begins with a classic musical travel adventure: an ad in the music section of New York City’s  Village Voice. In the mid-’90s Elana James was looking to join a "gigging band" when Whit Smith answered her ad. Though he had no shows on the books, Whit somehow convinced Elana to come down to his East Village apartment and jam for an evening just to see what would happen...when she arrived, he opened the door in big furry slippers and the rest is history.

More than a decade later, the Hot Club of Cowtown has grown to be the most hard-swinging trio on the planet. From its early days busking for tips in San Diego’s Balboa Park in 1998, the band has grown and developed into a formidable international sensation. The Hot Club’s ever-growing presence on the international festival scene has grown with its relentless touring over the years alongside five critically acclaimed CDs released in North America, Japan, Europe and the UK.

Today, after a two-year hiatus, the Hot Club of Cowtown has resumed touring and recording in anticipation of a forthcoming release in the spring of 2009. Some things haven’t changed. The band–Elana James on violin and vocals, Whit Smith on guitar and vocals, and Jake Erwin on bass and vocals–still swings harder than ever as it continues to develop its unique, ever-changing sound. This journey, which began with the roots of the Hot Jazz era, Americana music, vintage pop and folk music, continues to unfold into the new sound of the Hot Club’s original songs.

In the United States the Hot Club of Cowtown has been featured on All Things Considered, The Grand Ol’ Opry, $40 Dollars a Day with Rachel Ray, Mountain Stage, A Prairie Home Companion, and numerous other radio and television programs. In the UK they have appeared extensively on BBC Radio with Bob Harris and Andy Kershaw, and on BBC TV’s "Later" with Jools Holland, the "Live From Glastonbury Festival" broadcast, as well as throughout the UK at festivals, theatres, and clubs. Among the youngest members ever to be inducted into the Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame, in 2006 they also toured as Musical Ambassadors for the US State Department and were honored to be the first American band ever to tour in Azerbaijan. These days, tours with Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and others keep the Hot Club of Cowtown busy dazzling new audiences both nationally and internationally throughout much of the year.
