Dr. Bontempi's Snake Oil Company

Frenetically celebrated at festivals in the USA and England: what started as a small side project has blossomed into an insider tip for folk fans and friends of old country & western music from all over the world! No wonder, because - WHERE can you still hear something like that nowadays, let alone see it live and in color? The Snake Oil Company of Dr. Bontempi (known among other things as the lead singer of the MONTESAS) serves top notch authentic, wild, old dance music, snappy hillbilly blues stomp and ecstatic western swing - with doghouse bass, percussion guitar, fiddle, double-neck steel guitar, electric guitar and choir singing - and brings their whole own versions of old hits from the Wild West of the 30s to 50s. Whenever Dr. Bontempi's SNAKE OIL Company strikes up for a barn dance, it swings and sways, rocks and rolls like in a saloon from the black and white western films. And as if that wasn't enough, the snake oil company appears in proper style in pointy boots, suit trousers and western shirts. As a little extra treat, you can can even take Dr. Bontempi's original snake oil home with you, but - BE CAREFUL! Just one drop a day!
