Dr. Tony's Original Ragtime Band

Dr. Tony's Original Ragtime Band plays ragtime – simply the newest, hottest, most exciting and popular music of the early 20th century. We bring the high-energy original American sound of snappy melodies and toe tapping syncopated rhythms by some of our composers: Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Eubie Blake, W.C. Handy, James P. Johnson, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington and more.

Dr. Tony's Original Ragtime Band is an 8-piece ensemble made up of some of the finest musicians in the central Ohio area. Not a Dixieland band, we present a variety of music, from traditional ragtime to early blues and jazz to popular tunes and Tin Pan Alley hits and even classical music in ragtime style, all interspersed with lively commentary about the music, composers and their times.
