Betty's Bounce is a trio of two acoustic guitars and acoustic bass that performs American Jazz and music in the spirit of guitarist Django Reinhardt, which originated in France in the 1930s. Reinhardt teamed with violinist Stéphane Grappelli to co-found the Quintette du Hot Club de France whose music from the 1930's and 40's epitomized the genre. The repertoire of Betty's Bounce includes classic and modern popular tunes played with a “gypsy” twist. Audie Bridges, guitar - A seasoned musician, Audie has played and taught for many years.
