After a two-year recording and touring hiatus, the Los Angeles acoustic folk duo the Two Man Gentlemen Band is back with a new full-length album, Enthusiastic Attempts at Hot Swing & String Band Favorites, picking right up where the band left off. Fourteen swing and string band tunes, recorded live to tape with just one microphone, are captured with the group’s signature flair and passionate exuberance. Andy Bean’s banjo and Fuller Condon’s string bass sound like they’ve been transported straight from the 1930s, and the pair’s vocals are sharply harmonious and witty. The Two Man Gentlemen Band is currently on a coast-to-coast tour of the states, and performs on Sunday, Oct. 19, at Bergamot Alley, 328-A Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg. 7pm. Free. 707.433.8720
