The Bandmembers
T
hree four five...! Started as a trio, continued as a quartet after a few years and then even went further as a quintet - that's a moving band history! The WyattChristmas Five was founded in 2008 by guitarist and singer Andy WyattChristmas and released two albums on Part Records: "Well, It's All Right!" (2012) and "I've Got Rhythm" (2014) - both still in trio. In 2015, the band became a quartet with the entry of Peter Kühn (vocals, guitar, blues-harp), which was correspondingly much bluesier. Many gigs followed, for example on the Rockabilly Night in Wolfenbüttel and the Rockabilly Convention in Pullman City.
In early 2017, the change was then completed with Martina Jansen (piano) and Dennis Jansen (drums). The WyattChristmas Five are now a swinging and very danceable band with still clearly audible blues influences.
It is no coincidence that the five at their concerts always attract and inspire many dancers - the WyattChristmas groove does not let any leg rest ...
