Boston Swing Central is delighted to be hosting its fourth annual New Year’s Eve Great Gatsby Gala, which this year features one of our favorite bands, Baby Soda, as the band for the evening. If they get you swinging out hard during a regular Friday night dance, just imagine the energy they will be putting into their sets as we welcome in 2014!

What is the New Year’s Eve Great Gatsby Gala?…a swing dance party harking back to the roaring ’20s! Dress in your finest vintage black tie (if you can dance in it, of course…and it’s not required, but sure is fun!) and join us for a night of great music and dancing!

You can count on a fun packed night of dancing which includes:
*The Baby Soda Jazz Band from Brooklyn, NY
*Paper Moon Photo Booth and Props
*Midnight Sparkling Cider Toast
and more…

Tickets will be available at the door tonight!

Frank Hsieh and the Beantown Swing Orchestra will be joining us yet again to share their gift of swinging big band tunes! The Beantown Swing Orchestra is known for filling the Whistle Stop with big sound that inspire great, memorable dances. The band knows many of the tunes from the early century swing era and also adds their own flair to their performances by adding in some original arrangements! And since the holidays are fast approaching, don’t be surprised if a few holiday tunes make it onto the set list.

As usual, the BSO will have some of its well known and talented vocalists along with them!

Check out the below video for their version of Jimmie Lunceford’s “Tain’t What You Do” and see just how fun dancing to the Beantown Swing Orchestra is!

Phil McGowan & the Easy Winners return to the Whistle Stop after a crowd-inspiring performance back in October. They were so good, we had to have them back right away! With their New Orleans inspired hot jazz tunes, they will get you out onto the floor all night! The Easy Winners always get the crowd moving when they play for us and and this Friday will be no exception! Digging deep into their catalog of hits from the past, they’ll light fire to tunes like the 1921 Eddie Cantor hit: “Margie” and Louis Armstrong’s “You Rascal You”.

Here are the Easy Winners back in March, with a rousing version of “Everybody Loves My Baby”:
