Born and raised in New Orleans, Ronel was greatly influenced by legendary jazz trombonist James "Trummy" Young of the Louis Armstrong Jazz Band and
incorporates a tailgate technique developed by Kid Ory. In 2003, Ronell began performing at Preservation Hall and later became a member of its principle touring band.
Ronell will be joined by Orleans Express musicians Lew Elkins on cornet, Halley Schoenberg on reed, Greg Williams on drums, John O'Brian on banjo,

PRJC Spring Fling concert with The Jefferson Street Strutters
June TBD, 2022, 1:30-4pm, Online Only, via Facebook
Rosensteel Knights of Columbus of Silver Spring, 9707 Rosensteel Avenue, Silver Spring, MD
Directions
PRJC is bringing back our favorite Jefferson Street Strutters for our June concert.
The present day Jefferson Street Strutters band was formed by a group of government traffic engineers for
off duty recreation and who adopted the name The Traffic Jammers. With the Washington area’s legendary
traffic mess, that name begged to be changed and it did when the band started rehearsing a member’s
basement on Jefferson Street, Falls Church. What has remained the same is the band’s devotion to
toe tapping tunes of the early jazz days through the twenties, thirties and beyond. Its present day
members are anxiously awaiting to perform again for PRJC with a roster of exciting vocals and instrumental solos.
Tickets at the door can be purchased with cash or checks only. Exact change is appreciated!
Admission:
PRJC members ($20), General admission ($25; $22.50 in advance),
Youth & Students with valid student IDs (Free).
