Outrageous Fortune is an acoustic vintage jazz and blues trio featuring innovative arrangements of early jazz, blues and jug band music. The trio is Chris Welles on guitar; Rod Thomas on harmonica; and Dan Dick on jug, washboard and upright bass. Audiences are wowed by their instrumental virtuosity, and are delighted by their smooth three-part vocal harmonies and their strong groove. 

"Outrageous Fortune not only revive the rich repertoire of the classic jug bands, but this expert outfit also revel in the wit, theatricality and pure fun of the genre. They are a jubilation."

-- Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald music critic
