Alpha Rhythm Kings Release New Single ‘RagDoll’

The Alpha Rhythm Kings, founded in 2017, have taken the swing and jazz world by storm with their infectious energy and their signature King Size California sound. The band, led by frontman Robert Dehlinger, has been lighting up stages across the globe, from the glitzy heights of Beverly Hills to the historic concert halls of Europe. Their music combines the infectious rhythms of vintage swing with modern-day flair, leaving audiences wanting more wherever they perform.

The band’s debut album, Sharp Dressed Men, has been turning heads with its high-energy, jump-blues-infused swing sound. Described as “sharper than a Versace suit” by Jazz Weekly and a “jumping good time” by Midwest Record Blog, the album offers a thrilling ride from start to finish. It follows in the footsteps of the group’s earlier work, like their debut EP California Boogie, which was hailed as one of the “greatest swingin’ releases worldwide” by Hey Mister Jesse.

Sharp Dressed Men is a blend of old-school swing with modern twists, offering listeners a taste of both timeless classics and fresh original tracks. It’s the perfect introduction to the group’s dynamic energy and high-caliber musicianship, which has earned them spots on stages from the Grammy Awards Nominee San Francisco Chapter Celebration to Lincoln Center in Manhattan.

Their latest single, Rag Doll, showcases the band’s ability to keep evolving. With its upbeat tempo and catchy melodies, it channels the joy of swing music while adding a contemporary edge to Aerosmiths’ 1987 hit.

Following a series of successful singles—including “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie” featuring Tammi Savoy and a lively cover of Louis Prima’s “Baciagaloop”—Rag Doll solidifies the Alpha Rhythm Kings as a force to be reckoned with in today’s swing and jazz revival movement.

As they continue to bring their King Size California sound to audiences across the globe, the Alpha Rhythm Kings show no signs of slowing down. With their unique blend of vintage charm and modern pizzazz, this is one band you won’t want to miss.
