Join us at BSC for TWO live swing bands, Hot Club of New England and Tin Pan Trio.

The Hot Club of New England is a musical collective featuring the top swing, gypsy, and hot jazz musicians in the New England area. Founded by vocalist Atla DeChamplain, violinist Jason Anick (leader of the internationally renowned gypsy jazz group The Rhythm Future Quartet), guitarist Max O’Rourke, and bassist Greg Loughman, HCNE is on a mission to bring the elegant and classic style of the swing era and the roaring 20’s to a modern audience.

Mixing rough and tumble jazz with the gritty side of blues, Tin Pan offers listeners American roots music that captivates the soul. The band originated out of an innate need for music that meets people exactly where they are, providing an immediate, pure and energetic release from the everyday routine.

Join us for a swing dance with our local Boston DJs Kevin Lin and Dang Mai. While at the dance, don’t miss TWO special debut performances featuring the “Noreasters” Boston Competition Team and Katie and Paolo Piselli who will be bringing these routines to the International Lindy Hop Championships at the end of this month!

Kevin loves swing dancing, swing music, and loves listening to the music at all waking hours of the day. He has DJ’ed at local venues around Boston including MIT Lindy Hop Society and Monday Night Practice. Some of his favorite bands include Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Chick Webb. Kevin’s goal is to keep the energy high and the dancing fun, and he firmly believes in the saying… “It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing!”

Dang’s first foray into swing dancing happened in 2011 when he was lured in by a LivingSocial deal for a New School Swing class. Little did he know how many places that deal would take him, how many dancing friends he would make, and how many swing CDs he would end up hoarding as a result. His collection of music – ranging from the original 30s big bands such as Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and Count Basie to modern swing bands like Jonathan Stout, Mint Julep Jazz Band and Gordon Webster – is constantly updated and is guaranteed to keep your feet triple stepping and shuffling well into the late nights.
