With some of the most beautiful views of downtown Boston, Piers Park is a hidden gem of a park in East Boston that we love to swing out in. Come join your friends, new and old, for our annual Dirty Water Sunday afternoon outdoor dance on the harbor with tunes spun courtesy of DJ RetroMike. Since we will be dancing right on the water and it is autumn, we recommend that you bring a jacket with you.

Gordon Webster has long been a Boston favorite.  In the past few years he’s become an International Lindy Hop superstar and a must book for Exchanges, dance camps and competitions.  His Battle of the Bands against himself at this year’s Frankie 100 Celebration was off-the-hook!!

Glenn Crytzer’s Savoy Seven is the newest configuration of bands that Glenn plays with.  This 7 piece line up, with 1 trumpet, 2 reeds, and 4 piece rhythm section, really gives Glenn the opportunity to flex his muscles and have some fun as an arranger and composer.  It’s here that you’ll hear charts for all his latest compositions as well as his newest small-band arrangements of vintage classics by artists like Benny Goodman, Count Basie, John Kirby, Duke Ellington, and more. The Savoy Seven will have you in the groove and swingin’ like 1942!

We’re really excited for the Boston Swing Central debut of Miss Ida Blue.  She’s a bawdy backroom New York City Blues singer who fronts a band that is smoking red hot and swingin’ blues. The band features some musicians who are regulars in Woody Allen’s band and the Vince Giordano’s Boardwalk Empire band.  Some of these players you may have seen at the Whistle Stop before…New York City’s finest…and we’re not talking about the cops.

BSC is excited to welcome back the Blue Vipers of Brooklyn! Trademarked by their rhythm section, led by a washboard and upright bass, these guys sure do know how to get the crowd swinging with their wide vocabulary of hot jazz tunes, ranging from the 20s and 30s, all the way to the Dixieland Era!

The band often busks on the street, plays regular gigs around New York, and buzzes around the wedding circuit so it’s a rare treat to have them travel to play for us!

Here’s a clip of the Blue Vipers playing the Dweck Center for Contemporary Culture in New York:

Straight out of the snowy Rockies, BSC is thrilled to welcome back Jeremy Mohney! His swing stylings, band leading, and saxophone playing were pretty impressive so we are excited to welcome him back.

Since he isn’t around these parts too often, catch him while you can!

Check out his quartet’s song “Breeze Please” below:

Drawing from beautiful forgotten tunes from the ’20s and ’30s, the SCRUB BOARD SERENADERS are Brad Lail (washboard/bones), Adam Brisbin (resonator guitar), Sean Cronin (bass) and Ricky Alexander (reeds). Although newly formed, the Serenaders already feature strong three-part vocal harmonies to go along with their distinctive washboard-driven percussive sound and street-style music.
