Still Swingin'!
Seems it all started in January 2001 when Heidi, Londog, John, Doug, Brett and Gary thought that this band would be a good idea. We're still at it, so we must be doing something right. In fact, under other names, and with other songs, some of us go back over 35 years together--Yikes!
Oh...but it hasn't slowed us down--we're just getting comfortable. We still play a finger poppin' mix of swing guaranteed to please. The repertoire includes Classic Swing music such as "Sing, Sing, Sing" and "Jump, Jive, and Wail" to Western Swing music like "Bump, Bounce Boogie" and "Only Make Believe". Season to taste with a waltz or two, some torch songs to cool things off, as well as some surprise favorites, and our band can bring just the right mix to your event. If that won't get you moving, we'll dig into some of Gary's originals.
Among our strengths is variety--both in song choices and instrumentation. An evening spent with the Slant Six Swing Band will treat the listener to vocal harmonies, saxophone, violin, trumpet, keyboards, guitar, pedal steel guitar, flute, harmonica and more. All supported by an outstanding rhythm section.
