  Define your genre in five words or less: Rockin’ gangster swing.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? Hmmm, Brian Setzer Orchestra meets The Cat Empire.   If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
