Welcome To The Sinful Saints!
The Sinful Saints Dixieland Band has been entertaining the people of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin since founder Tom McDermott first pulled this crew together back in 1994. A decade and a half later, the Saints are still tearing up parades, parties and concert halls, bringing their unique blend of music and showmanship to thousands of eager listeners.
The Saints play music from the heyday of Dixieland, playing tunes first heard nearly a hundred years ago. They also play traditional jazz from the 20's and 30's as well as some tunes from Dixieland's Revival in the 1950's. If it Stomps, Floats or Struts, the Saints are probably playing it!
Take a look around, check out the band. Listen to a few clips. Contact us about playing your next get together!
Wheaton 4th of July Parade!
The Sinful Saints grabbed a Best Music trophy - both in Wheaton and Lake Bluff! In this clip you can hear the Saints playing "Maggie" before they actually show up on screen with "When the Saints Go Marching In"!
Press play to hear "Just A Little While To Stay Here" - recorded at the Woodstock Opera House.
At the Woodstock Opera House!
On August 22 and 23 2008, the Saints played a fund raiser for the Woodstock Opera House, getting their first opportunity to play on the 119 year old stage. Here's a clip from the adjoining Stage Left Cafe where we played all evening! It's a little hard to capture our sound on a handheld video camera, but it's still fun to get a peek at what we look like while playing!
