Who
are the TurpinTyme Ragsters?
The TurpinTyme
Ragsters are a 7-Piece Ragtime music ensemble based in Kansas
City. We hope to turn the clocks back, musically, to a era of
ceiling fans, ice cream socials, and Sunday concerts in the park.
What's
the music like?
Our repertoire
reflects the diversity of music from "turn of the century"
America, including songs like Dill Pickles, The Entertainer,
Creole Belles, Razzamazza, Kansas City Rag, Easy Winners, The
Chrysanthemum, Peaceful Henry, 12th Street Rag, Ragtime Dance...
When
did you begin?
The
Ragsters were formed in 1993 with a desire to play a
unique style of music. Since the Mid-West in the early
1900's was a virtual "hot bed" of Ragtime
activity from Kansas City to Sedalia to St. Louis we knew
we were on the right track. So, armed with a list of
local composers that reads like a Who's Who in the
Ragtime "Hall of Fame" to draw from, how could
we go wrong?
Why
do you play Ragtime music?
Simply
stated, performing the music of Scott Joplin, James
Scott, Charles Johnson, Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake and our
namesake Tom Turpin, makes us happy. We hope it will do
the same for you!
