About the band:

The Key System Rhythm Ramblers features Virginia Tichenor on piano, Jeff Green on banjo/guitar/vocals, and Lisa Gonick on vocals/ukulele. Playing music of yesteryear – traditional jazz, early swing, ragtime, novelty, and blues; Our infectious rhythms will keep your toes tapping, feet moving, and faces smiling! The trio plays regularly to enthusiastic audiences around the San Francisco Bay Area. The group derives their name from the Key System railway that used to service San Francisco and Oakland until 1960. Virginia and Lisa are neighbors and the Key System ran right in front of their houses in Oakland!
