Showboats and Grandstanders Record Release Party - The Foundry

Tommy Conwell and The Young Rumblers "Showboats and Grandstanders" had a record release party at The Fillmore Philadelphia's Foundry Room on June 22, 2019.

A week after the concert, WMMR DJ Jacky BamBam shared with me his amazement of the “real-deal rock n’ roll sound” of the Young Rumblers and the awesome inclusion of the horns: “No one does rock n’ roll horns anymore!!!” 🤘🏻🎶🎸 

The concert celebrated the release of the first Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers’ album in 30 years called, "Showboats and Grandstanders"—made possible by TCYR fans through a crowdfunding campaign. 

The album dropped on June 18, and the official record release party was held on Sat., June 22. Tommy, Paul, Jim, Rob and Chris played songs from the new album as well as many favorites from the 80s! 

Some highlights: Cliff Hillis, engineer on "Showboats and Grandstander" was a special guest and performed with the band on “Until the End.” 

Also, Tommy Conwell, Chris Day and Jay Davidson served an all-out blues jam during “Million Pretty Girls.”
