The Opera Bell Band is a Saint Louis-based outfit with a madcap, eclectic style. Their work is a colorful hash of American musical traditions – wall-of-sound rock n roll, exuberant pop triviality, novelty jazz, jugband, Tin Pan Alley, calypso, cajun, and country-western balladry. Live shows incorporate elements of vaudeville, surrealist sketch comedy, and folk theater.
