Selected discography

The Squirrel Nut Zippers, a seven-piece jazz-blues-rock ensemble with the emphasis decidedly on jazz, redefined and refreshed alternative pop music by mixing various dance band rhythms from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s with nostalgic-sounding blues vocals which sound eerily similar to Billie-Holiday. A Squirrel Nut Zippers single often includes everything from a trombone with Hawaiian-style slide solos, to twangy banjos, chandelier, resonator, and the baritone ukulele; this distinctive approach renders the Squirrel Nut Zippers “an alternative to alternative” and completely different from other bands heard on the airwaves.
The original core of the band is the husband and wife team of Jim Mathus and Katharine Whalen. After marrying in 1993, Mathus and Whalen moved from Chapel Hill, NC, to the rural outpost of nearby Efland, where they renovated an old farmhouse. Mathus

Squirrel Nut Zippers Present Jazz from the Back O’ Town
A Musical Journey to the Birthplace of Jazz in 1920s New Orleans
The Squirrel Nut Zippers Jazz from the Back ‘O Town show is an intriguing look at the birth of Jazz, focused on the prodigious musical neighborhood of New Orleans called Back O’ Town.
The Squirrel Nut Zippers present a delightful view into a magical era of the late 19th century through the Roaring 20s in New Orleans’ Back O’ Town neighborhood. Performing reverent yet exciting renditions of such seminal NOLA classics as Jelly Roll Morton’s “Animule Ball,” Louis Armstrong’s “Back O’ Town Blues,” the Zippers also perform favorites from their own catalog adapted and arranged to more closely echo the sounds of 1920s New Orleans.
Throughout the show, the band offers humorous, insightful musings on both the musical history of one of America’s most fascinating cities and the stories and inspirations behind many of the Zippers’ most beloved songs. Performed in era appropriate attire, but not so much a period
