Roots music: Western Swing, Louisiana Boogie, Rockabilly, Honky-Tonk and Jump Blues. The band has a very successful
CD with 9 original tunes in these genres. Their following is large and loyal. To quote a recent article written
about them: "When the Lone Sharks play, people dance. Like crazy. All night. So hard and hot that the waitress
has to turn down the thermostat."
