MAY 17 Retro Swing 7 Classic Swing & Jazz
With four horns, four rhythm, and a vocalist, they call themselves "retro" swing because they want to preserve the great music of the swing era while--at least occasionally--giving it a more contemporary twist. With classic swing arrangements RETRO SWING 7 revive the sounds of the 30s and 40s, and for good measure, they include other varieties such as classic rock, dixieland, polkas, etc.  www.retroswing7.com

 JUNE 21   Guilty Bystanders  Original Americana
We call ourselves The Guilty Bystanders. We play lively, original music that would probably be best described as progressive Americana style music with a southern flavor. Put more simply, we refer to it as Southern-Western.   We are an original music act though we may from time to time play some classic covers if requested; and can be marketed as a truly authentic regional music act doing very palatable original material.   www.theguiltybystanders.com
