Jiri (George) Kralik & the Rowdy Rascals

 This outstanding band plays traditional bluegrass, old-time country and western-swing music. The band prides itself on the extremely high quality of instrumental ability, and it's members additional ability to provide "a capella" vocals. The essential focal point of the band is the man who created it, the fiddler Jiri „George“ Kralik.

George gathered these important ingredients of a successful band during his visits to the country that originated these musical genres, the USA.

This understanding of the music, and the love generated for it, has produced an amazingly delightful original music with strong ties to it's traditional past.
