The SWINGRAYZ are a fabulous swing orchestra ranging from 4 up to 14 players who feature love ballads a la Frank Sinatra to the Big Band venue of Glenn Miller and Louis Prima to the 'new' jump jivin' swing music of Brian Setzer and Royal Crown Revue. We are unique because of the vast experience of our individual vocalists and horn players and are familiar with most songs your guests will request, encompassing hits of the 30's and 40's, Swing and Jazz standards, Classic rock, Motown, Latin and traditional Country. We will even compose a custom arrangement to any song that you would like to hear on your wedding or anniversary day or other special occasion.

Our smaller ensemble, The Swingset, is a 4 piece group who play Country Western, Classic Rock and R and B, Oldies and many many requests, better suited for smaller venues.

Feedback

  • The Swingrayz were great. It was my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and the Swingrayz did exactly what they said they would do -- provide a wide array of music from the 40s and 50s. They were very professional, played all the songs we asked for and every request we had during the event. I would highly recommend them. -- Ray H, Rockport, TX, 5/24/2008
