Friday December 29, 7pm
Swing Into the New Year!
Join us for a special evening of swing dancing to kick off the holiday weekend with The Lucky 5, a one hour swing lesson with Jason Fenton and a complimentary glass of champagne to welcome 2018.
Doors open at 6pm, Lesson starts at 7pm, Music and Dancing at 8pm.
The Lucky 5 is a hard-swinging jazz band that blends swing and gypsy jazz to create a unique, foot-stomping blend of music that appeals to a wide range of music lovers. The Lucky 5 performs both original compositions as well as putting a new spin on old jazz standards.
The band is comprised of highly seasoned touring musicians, having been part of The Hunger Mountain Boys, Lauren Ambrose & The Leisure Class, and traveled, performed and recorded with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Tony Bennett, Neko Case, Iris Dement, Bobby Previte, Del McCoury, Jim Lauderdale, just to name a few.
The Lucky 5 brings verve, high energy, and an unpredictable impulse to the tradition of jazz from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, grooving deeply, and keeping feet moving on the dance floor.
