The Boblo Islanders play music from the 1920s to 1940s featuring Hawaiian guitar, fiddle and vocal harmonies. Finding gems from the swing era, early country and Tin Pan Alley and making them their own is their specialty. Music from 75-100 years ago was the heyday of Hawaiian guitar in popular music and the band originally formed over love for music featuring this unique instrument. The band has been playing in Detroit and SW Michigan for about 5 years. Featuring Lindsay McCaw, Joel Jackson, Grace van’t Hof and Walter Prettyman, they live mostly on the East Side of Detroit. The lineup features Hawaiian guitar, Spanish guitar, violin, ukulele. Lindsay, Joel, Grace and Walter’s other projects include The Velvet Boys (Honky Tonk), Roochie Toochie and the Ragtime Shepherd Kings, Chris Jones and the Night Drivers, Corn Potato String Band, and Walter can be seen some Sundays at Cafe Sous Terre with Eric McIntyre.
