Swing Cafe is an acoustic swing, jazz, and rockabilly band that plays around New England at parties, clubs and concerts. Combining lead and harmony vocals, archtop guitar, mandolin, bass and drums, Swing Cafe blends well in all types of functions. Whether the event is a wedding celebration, a Bar Mitzvah, retirement party or mellow soiree, Swing Cafe plays music to fit the occasion. The band's love of the material, drawn largely from pop standards of the 30's, 40's and 50's, is obvious from the first downbeat. First rate musicians all, Swing Cafe's fun, classy stage presence and easy repartee are sure to delight audiences of all ages. In addition, one of Swing Cafe's members is a Grammy-nominated sound engineer, so one can be assured that Swing Cafe's sound is always of the highest quality and the right volume for the event.
