The band is known for its energetic take on Gypsy jazz—also known as *jazz manouche*—rooted in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Their sound blends elements of swing, country, and Western swing, featuring virtuosic violin playing alongside guitar and upright bass. Formed in the early 1990s, Hot Club of Cowtown has released numerous albums and toured extensively, gaining a reputation for lively performances and instrumental skill.

Fitzgerald's is a historic music venue located at 63 W Roosevelt Rd, Berwyn, Illinois. Originally opened as a speakeasy during Prohibition in 1940 by Alphonse “Al” Fitzgerald, it quickly became a prominent jazz and blues club. Over the decades it hosted many significant artists including Ella Fitzgerald (for whom it is named), Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie. While undergoing periods of closure and renovation throughout its history, Fitzgerald's has consistently remained a key location for live music in the Chicago metropolitan area.
