Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses are bringing Prima music into the 21st century. Not content to sit on the legacy they so passionately protect, LPJ and the band are taking a page from his father’s playbook, by wailing Prima Swing like it’s 2016.
Less concerned about reliving the past than about creating a future for it, Louis Prima Jr and the Witnesses bring new energy and a current attitude to the masses with The Wildest Show this side of the 1960’s. Since their breakout performance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (aka Jazz Fest), #TeamPrima has performed everywhere from Seattle to Palermo, from small clubs to performing arts centers, from casino showrooms to music festivals, and from Access Hollywood Live to PBS.
LPJ and the Band are currently touring in support of their second Warrior Records/Universal Music Distribution (warriorrecords.com) release, BLOW – a collection of original music (save for a couple of surprises) as eclectic and unique as each member of this powerhouse band. Building off of the success of their critically acclaimed debut CD Return of the Wildest!, the band has brought together many years of diverse musical tastes into their second offering. From the first thunderous stomps of the title track, it is evident that this isn’t your daddy’s swing music, but a raucous roller coaster ride of tail-shakin’, foot-stampin’, horn-driven smiles.
If you’ve seen them in concert, you’ll know a bit about what to expect from the musical minds of the Witnesses. As energetic and over-the-top as their live shows, BLOW continues the ever- changing musical journey that Prima Sr. began in the 30s. "With the band’s collective talents and diverse musical tastes, we wind up with a sound unique to this band, while staying true to the boisterous Prima style,” says Louis. “We didn’t set out to simply write music we thought the fans wanted to hear. We wanted to challenge ourselves musically and also challenge the listener. You can’t fool the fans by trying to force the word ‘daddy-o’ into every song. If music does not come honestly from your soul, it will ultimately be short lived.”
Recorded at Capitol Records in Studio B, where Prima Sr. recorded his hits of the 50s and 60s, the seriousness of this music is masked only by the obvious fun that was had making it. It’s been 50 years since legendary Prima music shook the walls of Capitol. A new legend is being born, and it will BLOW you away!
Louis Prima Jr Covered the whole stage, He talked to everyone and the Band performed for everyone. Good songs, Great vocals and instrumentals. a Must see for every Genre.
I always thought why won't anyone bring back the great music of Louie Prima? Well Prima Jr did and that would make Sr. proud. Fantastic show Louie, Sarah and the Witness were the best thing to hit AC in along time. But don't take my word fir it, "I'm just a gigolo" A must see show! Don't hesitate and go.
He and his band mates did justice to his father's legacy. The hour and a half show was high energy and professional. The musicianship was phenomenal and the the female vocalist was a tremendous asset to the overall presentation. This show was worth every penny of its twenty dollar charge. Kudos to the Atlantic Club for bringing in such a nostalgic show at such an affordable price. We recommended this show to many of our friends. Keep up the good work in the coming months.
Great show excellent, musicians and female singer. The place was jumping the entire show. Will definitely see it again when in Philadelphia area.
WHAT AN AMAZING SHOW. THE ENERGY LEVEL AND TALENT OF LOUIS PRIMA JR. WAS OFF THE CHARTS. EVERY MEMBER OF THE BAND AS WELL AS SARAH SPIEGEL WERE BETTER THAN GREAT. SARAH'S PERFORMANCE ALONE IS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION. I NEVER HEARD OF LOUIS PRIMA JR. UNTILL 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN I SAW HIS SHOW ADVERTISED ON A BILLBOARD AND NOW I AM A FAN FOR LIFE. I CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL HIS NEXT SHOW.

What an Awesome show! Louis Prima' s energy was spectacular! The slide show, the energy, the Drummer AD was fantastic, all the Musicians were Awesome! I recommend going and seeing this show!
What a wonderful tribute to his father! He must be smiling down. It was upbeat, entertaining, & never boring. You just wanted to get up & dance. The entire band never stopped moving the entire show.
Great show. High energy from beginning to end. Close your eyes and you think he is his Father. Great back up band as well.
louis jr doesn't have quite the voice range that his father had but nonetheless he is a very energetic performer. since i am a huge fan of his father's music, but never got to see him in person, i appreciate the opportunity to see louis jr perform. most often, when a son or family member gets into the music business because the father was, they do their own thing. what i really enjoy is that louis jr rather than do his own thing, relives and performs in a similar style and delivery, the music his father made famous. it is the next best thing to having louis sr still performing. i will go to see louis jr every time he performs in my area again and again. i can never tire of hearing these songs perfomed this way. i love it!! also, sara spiegel is adorable and personable and has a terrific voice and delivery and is a great compliment to the show, as well as all the musicians.
Excellent high powered show. Louie Prima , Jr was almost as good as his father. The show brought back a lot of the memories from his father's era. All of the musician's and singer were excellent.
Fabulous! You will smile, clap and sing along the entire show.
NEVER SAW HIS FATHER IN PERSON ,ONLY IN FILM CLIPS AND TV BUT LISTER TO HIS MUSIC ALL THE TIME
I remember yhe original Louis! He was full of energy and fun. Didn't what to expect with Louis jr. From the time he and his excellent band came on stage it was terrific. The energy from all of them rubbed off on audience. Very good show. One complaint I did hear was that everything was too loud.
What a great show, so full of energy! Louis Prima JR was Awesome. The Drummer AD was outstanding! Everyone did a fantastic job!
