Press
“Nobody has made a category for Tucson's Jimmy Carr and the Awkward Moments”…” Carr is the first thing you see, he pounds his feet in rhythm while playing accordion and singing” “And they're good, really good, and unlike anything else you'll hear, unless Tom Waits is in town and is in really good form”.
“Mixing Jimmy Carr's gruff blues vocals with the sounds of gypsy jazz, Americana, klezmer, classical”…” the byproduct lies somewhere in the middle between Gogol Bordello and Slavic Soul Party”…”Renowned for their improvisational dexterity”.
