Ace-Hi Rhythm Section: Ambassadors of rockabilly
By Ryan Heinsius

The tradition of the rockabilly band is based on both nostalgia and a gritty vision of urban life. It calls back to the days of leather-clad bikers with greased black hair, sideburns and tattoos so extensive they appear to be clothing. The golden era of the rockabilly image was the ’50s, in its seedy roadhouses and shady speakeasies. Those joints represented a mysterious underbelly of the popular rock ‘n’ roll exterior. It is a part of American culture that has still not lost its appeal.
The Ace-Hi Rhythm Section band is a time-warping musical ambassador of rockabilly. The Palm Springs, Calif., trio came together in 1997, after the dissolution of the Tattoo Blues Band, another Southern California rockabilly unit. Ace-Hi combines elements of classic rock ‘n’ roll with country rhythms, achieving a rock/hillbilly fusion.
Ace-Hi has taken on many forms, including the brief addition of a horn section and a percussionist. As it stands now, the band has refined its sound to just a few base elements. Their tight precision is one of the band’s cornerstones. The drummer, James St. James, is a rhythmic powerhouse, and bassist Andrew Bentzien, originally the band’s sax player, keeps the strings of his upright bass reverberating with intensity. The newcomer to the band, Amsterdamer C.C. Jerome, has picked up guitar and vocal duties, adding an Elvis Presley-like voice to the band.
Ace-Hi’s tune, “Make Sweet Love,” has a classic ’50s sound with the straightforward subject matter and the snarling bluesy chord progression. Other songs, such as “Say When,” and “Little Baby Linda,” place them along side other modern rockabilly masters, such as the Reverend Horton Heat and Southern Culture on the Skids.
Ace-Hi Rhythm Section will be performing at the Hotel Monte Vista Lounge, 100 N. San Francisco, Fri, Aug. 1. The show will begin at 9 p.m. and there won’t be a cover charge
