Slim Richey & The Jitter Bug Vipers

The Jitterbug Vipers transport you to a dimly lit nightclub in 1940’s Chicago where Billie Holliday and Wes Montgomery are jamming with Ray Brown and Gene Krupa. Vintage jazz, swing, whatever you want to call it, it’s hot, sultry, sophisticated and danceable, influenced by Count Basie’s Rhythm section and Thai food. Ahhhh!

Emily Gimble 22 years old and already playing and appearing with many of music’s greats such as Ray Benson & Asleep at the Wheel, Randy Elmore’s Swing Showcase, Tribute to Cindy Walker (at the Paramount where Slim first heard her), and with her grandfather, fiddle legend Johnny Gimble.

Slim Richey, the most dangerous guitarist in Texas, has played and recorded with Herb Ellis, Marc Johnson, Maryann Price, Marty Stuart, David Amram, Ricky Skaggs, and Ray Price, toured Japan twice, Italy three times, and on and on. He’s internationally recognized for his distinct style of Southwestern swing/jazz guitar.
