OOOOOJan.u14OOO SLIPPED DISC
Inspired by the Benny Goodman Sextets of the 1930's and 40's notable for swinging riff-based melodies atop a burning rhythm section, this band does the Goodman legacy proud.

OOOOOFeb.u4OOO THE CRESCENT CITY SHAKERS
This band plays in the loose relaxed style of uptown New Orleans where jazz dance music was born. Just try to keep those feet still! Angie & Matt will hold an an hour long dance lesson focusing on Pure Balboa variations from 12:30 to 1:30. $10 for just the lesson, $20 for lesson & dance.

OOOOOMar.u10OOO THE HOT FOOT FIVE
Yet another band of young musicians led by yet another guy named Arntzen - this time Arnt. Expect more hot music to keep your feet busy!

OOOOOApr.u21OOO THE PHOENIX PHIVE (or maybe SIX)
British Trad based on the Uptown New Orleans style which just begs your feet to get out on the floor and get movin'! And these guys are as good at this style as they come.

OOOOOMay.u12OOO BLACKSTICK
Lloyd and Evan Arntzen doin' what they do best, playing from the books of the great reed players of the early years. This is dance music at its best!.
