Established in 2004 these four Blues/Jazz & Rat Pack style musicians play together as The Hoochie Choochies. They play Rat Pack Tunes and heartfelt Blues.

Gerry Hale's Innocent Bystanders is acoustic swing, flavored by bossa and salsa and even a of bit country at times. A major feature are two female voices that duck and weave around a dead-pan smooth jazz-style vocal. Songs range from Payday Blues to the epic Moody Richard (the innocent bystander himself), and Canned Music - warning of the dangers of live music where “my baby left me for the drummer.” Kinda funny songs but often with a darker side, all rich with harmonies and complex arrangements. He mixes it up quite a bit, from story songs to just plain jive : the deeper you listen, the better it gets
