Great band for a variety of events

For well over a decade, Swingbooty has entertained diverse audiences at a wide variety of events and venues. Led by Christian Lange (violin), this talented 7-member band (with 2 guitars, keyboards, bass, drums, and a rotation of some of Knoxville’s best vocalists) performs the Gypsy Jazz inspired by Django Rheinhardt and Stephan Grappelli as well as other styles of swingin’ jazz. As a concert band, their music is captivating, and if you have a dance floor, they really know how to get your feet and – ahem! – moving and grooving.

Hired as: 1930s Era Entertainment, Jazz Band, Swing Band
