Steve Lucky
Steve Lucky & The Rhumba Bums
featuring Miss Carmen Getit
Steve Lucky (pounding piano and vocals) and Miss Carmen Getit (vocals and acclaimed guitar) front this rambunctious sextet the SF Weekly calls "San Francisco's top jump-swing band."
The one-two punch of solid musicianship and lively on-stage banter between Lucky and Miss Getit has critics and audiences alike drawn to their magnetic performances.
The addition of drums, upright bass and two saxophones results in an irresistible sound that drives fans both young and old to the dance floor. A combination of good music, high energy and humor gives The Rhumba Bums wide audience appeal.
Their charming stage presence, sassy vocals, diverse repertoire, and first-rate musicianship make them a natural choice for festivals and parties. Appearances at the San Francisco Blues Festival and the San Francisco Jazz Festival have garnered rave reviews.

"What sets these San Franciscans apart from almost all the other so-called neo-swing bands is their superior musicianship...Lucky makes a splendid front man -- every bit as righteous is Miss Carmen Getit, who breaks it up on vocals and jazzy guitar...The Rhumba Bums seem to abide by Cab Calloway's advice: 'Live what's in your soul, and sing your friggin' heart out."
Frank-John Hadley, Downbeat
"Carmen Getit tears it up on her hollow-body, playing chords light-years beyond anything found in a Mel Bay book. More importantly, their (Lucky & Co.) banter and interplay onstage demonstrates a perfect union of skilled and fueled merrymaking."
Howard Myint, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Steve, Carmen, and the entire band are consummate musicians and entertainers."
Rebecca Weller, Producer, Lincoln Center, New York City
"Instant crowd favorites."
Tom Mazzolini, Producer, San Francisco Blues Festival
"They'll have you jumping and jiving in no time!"
Joseph Jordan, Blues Access Magazine
"Carmen Getit wrings a mean, meaty moan from a Gibson."
Adam Levy, Guitar Player Magazine
"Lucky is a nimble and soulful pianist."
Bill Kisliuk, Jazz Now
