Shout Sister Shout!
Rachel David and the boys from Steppin’ In It found a common love for jazz music of the 1930s and 40s after playing concerts as a double-bill. The summer of 2006 found the two
Michigan acts working at the same festivals, as classic tunes from Nat King Cole or Sarah Vaughan found their way onto set-lists. By the fall, the quintet was dubbed Shout Sister Shout (after the Sister Rosetta Tharpe classic of the same name) and an album was in the works.
