The Swing Band
This swing band embodies everything that made The Rat Pack legendary; exceptional musicianship, timeless songs, and outstanding vocals delivered with unmatched coolness! They comprise six highly-skilled musicians from diverse backgrounds such as jazz, funk, indie, and rock, united by their love for the golden era of swing music. The result is a swing show with a distinct difference.
The performance begins with classic Sinatra: Come Fly with Me, I Get a Kick Out of You, and The Lady is a Tramp, all specially adapted to capture the exuberance of the original big band arrangements with the tight punch of a 6-piece group. As the floor begins to swing, the band continues with songs made famous by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, along with contemporary swingers like Michael Bublé.
What truly makes this band unique are their mesmerizing swing versions of modern rock and pop songs: The Rolling Stones' 'Paint it Black' done salsa-style, a blistering swing take on Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' and even Radiohead's 'Creep' reimagined as if it was designed for a Vegas Casino!
Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate party, awards ceremony, product launch, or a Vegas-themed function, you'll find that this swing band offers floor-filling entertainment that engages every type of audience.
The band is delighted to tailor their performance to match your requirements and the mood of your event.
