The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Squirrel Nut Zippers had the good fortune to make it to the big leagues while the swing revival of the 1990s crested. Although the group’s roots stretched far beyond the Rat Pack — they were informed by New Orleans jazz, hot dance music, Harlem jazz, and other jumping music of prewar America — they nevertheless benefited from the lounge revival, which helped lift their 1996 album, Hot, and its accompanying single, "Hell," into the Billboard charts. Squirrel Nut Zippers kept touring into the early 2000s, after which they went on hiatus. Leader Jimbo Mathus revived the group in 2008 for a live album, but it wasn’t until 2018 that they released a new album, Beasts of Burgundy. The reconstituted band kept rolling into the next decade with the 2020s Lost Songs of Doc Souchon.
