>> OPENING FOR MOTOWN RECORDING STARS THE COMMODORES, AT THE CELLAR DOOR WINERY IN LINCOLNVILLE, ME - SEPTEMBER 28, 2012! <<

Swing Shift. We're seven professional Maine musicians with one goal: to make your event the best it can be. We offer decades of experience playing every kind of music -- from the Motown favorites of the 60's, and the dance music of the 70's, up through today's current hits. In addition, we all have our musical roots in jazz -- so if you need timeless standards or today's smooth, contemporary sounds, we offer that, too. And we play it with genuine passion -- all live, without backing tracks.

Members of Swing Shift have toured nationally (even internationally), sharing stages with countless rock and jazz legends. We are university-educated, polished and professional.

Are you planning a wedding? Swing Shift is a great choice! We'll work with you to pick the right songs and play them at just the right time. We'll even learn a special song or two, and act as the perfect hosts to keep the party going strong. And, of course, if you need some jazz for a rehearsal dinner or cocktail hour, we've got you covered there, too. We can provide a trio, quartet or quintet, depending on your needs.

Swing Shift -- we'll turn your special event into "Sophisticated Fun."

• What is there not to love about Swing Shift? From their regular and personable communication in the months preceding our wedding to their incredible musical talent, we were thrilled to have them as a memorable piece of our celebration. Musically gifted and gregarious, they were able to get everyone--from 3 years old to 63 years old--out on the dance floor. Vocalist Rae's infection energy seeped through the evening and the entire band worked to create a truly memorable event. -- Emily D, Jefferson, ME, 9/3/2011
• Fabulous group. Talented musicians and vocalist. Put on a top notch show. Song choices absolutely appropriate to audience. Terrific! -- Tobin M, Thomaston, ME, 5/26/2012
