HI ROLLERS were formed in Athens, Greece by Christos Zois (Double Bass) and
Eirini Dimopoulou (Vocals) that except being experienced at Greek rock ‘n roll
bands, they had the will to form a band being unique in style in order to create
and perform the kind of music they always loved. They decided the style to be
the one that was in the late 40’s and early 50’s and it was a mixture of
BLUES,JAZZ,SWING KAI BOOGIE WOOGIE and that was performed by 4-5 member bands
due to the fact that big bands were no longer active because of the war. This
unique style had the name JIVE and its main representatives were WYNNONIE
HARRIS, LOUIS JORDAN, BIG JOE TURNER, ROY BROWN, LOUIS PRIMMA, RUTH BROWN,
WYNNONA CARR and many more that today are called messiahs of ROCK’N’ROLL. HI
ROLLERS are experimenting with their own music but they perform cover songs from
that era. JUMP, JIVE AND WAIL DADDY O!!!
