Swing
Nouveau
Two-time Wisconsin Area Music Industry Award winner Best Swing
Artist. Boogie to the hippest 17-piece big band around, playing
classic and new swing. From big production dance band instrumentals
to the intimate vocal stylings of Sinatra, Darin and Clooney,
Swing Nouveau takes you back in style. They’ll even teach
you to swing dance if you don’t already jump and jive!
King
Comets
Bringing you the best in swing and jump-blues classics, this
high-energy quartet arrives dressed to perform in 1940s styled
suits. Guitar, upright bass, drums and sax join together to
perform the best-known artists representing the roots of rock
‘n roll – Elvis Presley, Louis Jordan, Louis Prima,
Carl Perkins and more.
Western
Box Turtles
The kings of western swing playing fiddle music with a big band
beat. Hank Williams and Bob Wills are alive and well, thanks
to this lively quintet that features both upright bass and pedal
steel guitar. Western swing was the country cousin to the uptown
swing bands of the 1930s and ‘40s. Born in the Texas and
Oklahoma dance halls of the ‘30s, these “hot string
bands” still burn it up.
