Abstract:
Carrboro’s Squirrel Nut Zippers led the swing music revival of the late nineties, making their way into mainstream radio. The shadow of litigation, acrimonious departures, and the divorce of Jimbo Mathus and Katharine Whalen caused the band to fall apart a few years after their second album Hot. Only two members of the original band are on board for this year’s twentieth anniversary tour for Hot.
