Visualize the Hot Club of France in the 1920s and '30s, or a prohibition era Speak Easy in Harlem yet also picture Brazilian or Latin tunes coming from the same era.
Underground Swing's music is classy, swingin' and sophisticated with it's combination of guitars, clarinet, vocals and bass. They bring alive the tunes of Django Reinhard, Fats Waller, Cole Porter, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, some Latin rhythms of the golden age of jazz, plus some original compositions. Travel back in style to an era of zoot suits, flapper dresses, and the Lindy Hop for an evening of jazz music with Underground Swing.
We are available to bring sweet refrains and a swinging joie de vivre to your event!
Underground Swing really made our school auction event spectacular! Their music got people out on the dance floor and provided the perfect ambiance for the evening. I even had people stopping me throughout the night to ask where I had found the band!
John Anderson was extremely professional and efficient. I honestly cannot praise them enough. If you want a swanky jazzy sound then Underground Swing is right on the mark.

The following reviews are from past clients:
Underground Swing was the perfect choice for our company's Holiday Event. They were professional, friendly, and an impressive and talented group. Even warming up they sounded great together! From day one of booking, the band members stayed in touch with me as I finalized plans for the event, making sure that the night of the event went completely smoothly. I would absolutely book them again - they were a huge hit with our guests, and my experience with them was flawless. Five stars.
-Greta W.
To say they were great is an understatement and we will use them in the future. Very enjoyable to listen and dance to.
-Jeri S.
Underground Swing was PERFECT for our daughter's wedding reception. We received many compliments on the music from our guests and we enjoyed working with them. They were professional, extremely talented, on time and very flexible with our schedule of events during the reception. We highly recommend them and we wouldn't hesitate to have them perform at a future event we host. Thank you for giving our daughter's reception an extra special touch! Jay and Julianna
