Justin & The SwingBeats

Clients who hire us can expect an ultra polished band of professional musicians who are attentive to every detail from the needs of the client, to the music played, dress and stage setup, right down to their cufflinks and the shine on their shoes. The band will take guests on a musical journey from the vintage standards of the "Great American Songbook" through classic hits, dance anthems, and current pop that will flow, based on the format of the event. We can customize the music styles and song lists to each client's wishes.

For those planning the event, there are many moving parts and a great number of details of which to keep track of and execute. We are experts at what we do and it is our goal to make the jobs of our clients as easy and stress free as possible in terms of the entertainment. We accomplish this by anticipating client needs, maintaining open communication up to the day of the event, and providing sound equipment. We want to free the minds of our clients so they can focus on other details while leaving the music up to us...we've got you covered!

A native of Michigan, Justin Dean is a Las Vegas based singer of the Great American Songbook, dance classics, and current pop. Justin has been a lifelong fan of Frank Sinatra, Big Band era music, and Jazz/Pop standards since the first time, at 8 years old, he heard Bing Crosby sing “White Christmas” while sitting in front of the stereo during the holidays. This "Golden Era" of orchestras, combined with satin smooth baritone vocals, shaped his musical interests and always reminded him of spending the holidays at his grandparent's house surrounded by family.

Being a lifelong fan of Sinatra, Justin's style harkens back to the era of the "Lounge Crooner" when legends such as Frank, Dean, Sammy, Elvis, and Bobby Darin were the stars of the times. Those were the days when a man stepped out for a night on the town in his best suit with a carefully knotted tie (loosened just so below the open top button), sipped on a meticulously crafted cocktail made to his strict specifications, and entered a room with a lady on his arm (or he at least exited with one).

While having roots in the music and spirit made popular by Rat Pack, Justin is also influenced by many other legendary and modern artists such as Tony Bennett, Frankie Valli, Michael Buble, Maroon 5, Huey Lewis & The News, Bruno Mars, & Justin Timberlake. It is Justin's goal to, “melt the audience with sentimental standards that make you feel easy and wistful, then draw them to their feet with iconic dance and current pop hits.” The intent is to create a musical journey that will keep audiences of all ages glowing while celebrating to some of the greatest songs ever written.

Since 2007, Justin has appeared on PBS television, been featured in many Las Vegas, Detroit, and Atlanta hotels and lounges, and performed for charity fundraisers, political campaign events, and some of the world’s largest corporations. After hearing Justin at the Italian American Club in Las Vegas, Steve Lawrence (of the iconic singing duo Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme) said, “hey, this kid’s good!”

Justin’s all-star SwingBeats band members are some of the top, world class musicians to be found anywhere. His team is an A-list comprised of seasoned professionals who have played with Lady Gaga, Andrea Bocelli, Aerosmith, Boyz II Men, Dionne Warwick, The Righteous Brothers and have opened for Tony Bennett and Sheryl Crow. Justin brings together this caliber of talent and specializes in providing high quality live entertainment nationwide, exclusively for corporate events, luxury private functions, and weddings. He is passionate about using his love for great songs to, as he and those around him say, “keep the spirit alive” by bringing enjoyment to others through music.

We can provide all PA sound equipment and stage lighting if needed. If our client has an existing A/V contract through their hotel or 3rd party vendor, we are happy to use their sound provider and we will supply a stage plot and technical rider.

If staging is needed, staging would be arranged by the purchaser of band entertainment or event planner. If no staging is needed, the band is happy to setup on the floor.

* Please note: For events outside of Las Vegas, sound, lights, and backline will need to be sourced locally by the purchaser or event planner.
