.:Squirrel Nut Zippers:.

The Squirrel Nut Zippers are a jazz band formed in 1993 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina by James "Jimbo" Mathus (vocals and guitar), Katharine Whalen (vocals, banjo, and ukelele), and sidemen Chris Phillips, Don Raleigh and Ken Mosher.

While the band's eclectic fusion of Delta blues, gypsy jazz, 1930s-era swing, klezmer, and other styles made them hard to categorize, their quirky music found a niche in the late 1990s. Their second album, Hot (1996) was certified platinum in 1997.

While the band broke up in 2001, amidst an acrimonious dispute over their management agreement and royalties, a modified line-up was put together in 2007 for performances in the US and Canada.
