About
Old Sam & The Teardrops is a prominent Milwaukee-based swing jazz group led by 'Old Sam' (Sam Teardrop), a musician who has spent over 25 years exploring the 'forgotten American songbook.' The band is known for its high-energy performances of jazz and blues gems from the 1920s and 1930s, delivered with tight arrangements and vintage tones. The ensemble often features notable local talent, including John Sparrow of the Violent Femmes on drums. They are a regular fixture in the Wisconsin music scene, holding a residency at The Argo in Whitefish Bay and making frequent appearances at iconic Milwaukee venues like Falcon Bowl, Linneman's Riverwest Inn, and the South Milwaukee Downtown Market.
