In 1993, three veteran musicians from Carpinteria and Santa Barbara came together to form the genesis of Last Call. Over the years the band has changed and grown, yet has maintained the admiration of country music fans from Santa Ynez to Moorpark for their lushly woven harmony vocals, and a mix of contemporary, traditional and western swing country music.
Taking its name from the barroom announcement, "Last call for alcohol," the band has been praised in two reviews by the Los Angeles Times.
The band specializes in three-part harmonies singing country oldies, new country, country rock and western swing. Although Last Call is known as a good danceband, the band also has the ability to play acoustically for pleasant listening entertainment in non-dance settings. |
Their repertoire includes many past and present Top-40 country hits like "Past the Point of Rescue", "Nothin' on but the Radio" and "Suds in the Bucket." Last Call keeps listeners intrigued, blending into other musical genres with such jazz tunes as "Route 66," Southern Rock classics such as "Amie," a hint of bluegrass with Alison Krauss'"The Lucky One," fifties swing with "Johnny Be Good", and a little Texas dance hall with Bob Wills' "Roly Poly."
The band stays true to country tradition with such classics as Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried", Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," and Waylon Jennings' "Good Hearted Woman." Last Call continues to be popular with discerning dance fans and concert audiences alike. |
