What happened when Jazz guitar legend Django Reinhardt met Hot steel guitar virtuoso Sol Ho’opi’i? A new type of driving acoustic swing music was born! Well, actually that never did really happen. However it's the exciting blending of styles that Christo's Novelty Combo is built on. They present is a unique mixture of the Vaudeville era, novelty infused hot steel guitar and ukulele of the teens and twenties “Hawaiian Craze” and the swinging sounds of French jazz from the 1930s and 40s. Think Hot Hawaiian guitar meets Jazz à la Django! 

Christo’s Novelty Combo presents a high energy eclectic show. He peppers in historical anecdotes about the music presented to give it context. Christo has had extensive performance experience in many settings including large music festivals, concert series, night club gigs, and private events. His Combo is equally as comfortable on the main stage as is is in an intimate living room house concert. Their unique sound is always met with rave reviews! Bandleader Christo Ruppenthal is also a member of Caravan, The North Westerns and was a part of the duo Mal-O-Dua.
