History
Established in 2000.
Authentically performing big band swing the way people remember. Nominated for several Detroit Music Awards and winner of nearly all Big Band Battles. We set out to focus on the music and era we love best, playing music people want to hear and dance to, not the "music for musicians" other bands play. We also rehearse regularly in private, to work out bugs and sharpen sounds, not in a public bar where things don't get worked out or remembered. Finally, we always dress sharply, wearing black suits, black tux or white.
Meet the Business Owner: Gary H.
I've been playing with big bands for a few dozen years and have met lots of other players and done many gigs. A few regulars and I decided to join together to do it right, taking what works and leaving what didn't behind. We would specialize in swing and the swing era, always dress sharply, get skilled musicians and be as true to the period and music as possible. No playing eras that don't work or bar gigs! It worked and we haven't looked back! We specialize in weddings, fund-raisers, corporate parties community concerts and swing dances. I listen to our clients and if we're not a good fit then we part but if we're on the same page then we deliver the best, classiest, entertaining, most authentic show possible. Agencies, planners, hotels, country clubs, brides and communities call us first. We're very proud of our shows and are honored to perform for our clients.
