Description
SWING STREET is big band swing, jump-jive swing, main-stream jazz, old time rock and roll, moldy-oldies, sexy Latin rhythms, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, and much, much more, all presented with lots of pizazz and an entertaining style!
SWING STREET is a premier 9-piece swing band centrally based in Southern Pines/Pinehurst, North Carolina, serving North Carolina, South Carolina, and parts of Virginia --- including: Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Asheville, Wilmington, Columbia, Charleston, Florence, Myrtle Beach, and more -- anyplace you want to SWING!!!
Singing drummer, Tom Bernett, and the Swing Street Band, will provide a swingin', dancin', rompin', stompin' good time for your company party, country club event, wedding reception, anniversary party, fund raiser, birthday party, swing dance, or night club. SWING STREET's big band sound features great musicians playing great arrangements and a fun-time atmosphere that will assure your guests of a memorable event.
Yes, we are primarily a swing band, but we also play enough old time rock and roll, funky blues, 70s/80s oldies, and show tunes to assure that EVERYBODY has something to dance to!!
Our music library contains hundreds of custom arrangements that range from In The Mood to Celebration; from Sing Sing Sing to Old Time Rock and Roll, from Cherry Pink to Pink Cadillac; from Call Me Irresponsible to Call Me Al. By using custom arrangements written specifically for six horns, SWING STREET offers a true big band sound, but with fewer musicians. By using only nine musicians instead of the normal seventeen or eighteen, you get exciting big band sounds at a price that won't spoil your party, so you can relax and enjoy!
Swingin' jazz music is America's true dance music! Originally performed not to just sit down and listen to -- but also to combine with food, drink, dancing, and FUN!!! SWING STREET carries on this great, big band tradition of combining good music with swinging good times for all. An evening with SWING STREET will keep your toes tapping and your guests happy.
Whether you're planning a top-drawer wedding or an international business gathering; a club party or a community fund-raiser; an elegant ball or an outdoor bash, SWING STREET has the professional entertainment experience to help make your event a huge success.
So get up and dance... boogie on down to SWING STREET!
