Wanda Jackson is credited as being the ‘First Lady of Rockabilly’. She began her career in the mid-1950’s and is considered a pioneer for rock and roll and rockabilly music. In 1958, she signed with Capitol Records and recorded a mix of country and rockabilly tunes. She hit the U.S. Top 20 in 1966 with “The Box It Came In” and “Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine”. During this time she was nominated for a Grammy twice and toured across the U.S.

In the 1970’s, she released six gospel albums, under different labels, and gained a new fan base. She shifted back to country and rockabilly in the 80’s and 90’s performing at various festivals and embarking out countless tours.

In 2009, Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Adele and Wanda Jackson toured together last summer, selling out countless venues. Most recently, she worked with Jack White of The White Stripes, resulting in the 2011 album ‘The Party Ain’t Over’. This living legend is currently touring and continuing to gain fans.

In 1995, Sinner formed The Chop Tops so he’d have a way to share his love of rockabilly music – but he also enjoyed other musical styles (like punk, surf, and psychobilly) and didn’t want to stop playing them completely. So the band blended all of their favorite music genres together to create their own special sound. The Chop Tops even coined the phrase “Revved-Up Rockabilly” to describe their unique combination of rebel music styles. As the band progressed, Sinner developed his wild style of lead vocals combined with drumming while standing up. When guitarist Shelby joined in 1999, his talented riffs and high-energy stage presence were a perfect fit for The Chop Tops. Shelby brought a wealth of experience from previously playing in many San Francisco Bay Area bands and jamming with the likes of Chris Isaac. In 2008, Brett became the upright bassist, having formerly played with several popular Los Angeles ‘Billy bands. Brett’s string-slapping skills added the finishing touch to the “Revved-Up Rockabilly” trio. Together, Sinner, Shelby, and Brett have turned The Chop Tops into one red-hot rockin’ act. The band takes their breed of rockabilly music across the U.S. to perform more than 200 shows every year. So get in your ride, step on the gas, and race down to see them play…you’ll be glad you did!
