Big Sandy, Lead Singer of Big Sandy and His Flyrite Boys

On Philadelphia: “I’ve been here probably 15 times over the years. Early on we’d be on a mixed bill, playing with punk bands. Then we settled into a thing of our own. At some point in the ’90s a swing scene developed and we were playing for that crowd. When we play in Philadelphia I end up getting into these pretty interesting conversations with record collectors. There are hardcore record people in town. They love to talk about all the musicians who used to play here and about doo-wop records. It’s something I want to find out more about. Sounds like there was a pretty vibrant scene going on. I suppose there still is. There’s a passion here for the old vinyl, and that’s a passion I share.”
Big Sandy and His Flyrite Boys’ newest album is Turntable Matinee
