Amazing band with great sound and class!!!
We hired Swing Je T'aime for our wedding ceremony and reception. They were outstanding! Guests constantly complimented us on how great the band was. We had our wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens which prohibits use of amplification--no problem for Swing Je T'aime! Their acoustic 5 piece and amazing singer were incredible. They totally fit in with our '40's style vibe and were very nice. Their manager, Lacey, was a pleasure to work with and made our music planning a piece of cake. We highly recommend this band and would use them again in a heartbeat!

About
In addition to their extensive public performance schedule, Swing Je T'aime is still accepting private bookings as a 6/7-piece headline ensemble for all occasions, in any locale. Smaller events may book a 4-piece combo, billed as "petite Swing Je T'aime," with or without vocals.
"Our music is a listener-friendly blend including fresh takes on classic favorites; unburied treasures; and innovative, original songs. We are a swing band, unconfined. Our primary influences include legendary two-fingered trailblazer Django Reinhardt and his Hot Club of France; the genre-bending "little orchestra" from Portland, Pink Martini; and accessible polystylism. While our performances are musically satisfying to the master's- and doctorate- level professionals in our ensemble, each song is crafted with the goal of maintaining a general accessibility. Through our exciting shows which uniquely balance musical familiarity and newness, we have achieved a rare level of multi-generational appeal.
Swing Je T'aime is exclusively for everyone!"
- composer/director/guitarist Aaron Walker

Swing Je T'aime's concerts are high-energy and exciting.

The chemistry on-stage between the band members is infectious; they're all accomplished, professional musicians with advanced degrees in their crafts, yet they do understand their role as entertainers!
