Nov 12: Pre-25th Anniversary "Battle of the Bands", with Eight to the Bar & The Love Dogs! (special admission fee)
A very special night...not to be missed!!
Two of our most popular bands sharing the stage for the first time! They'll each play 2 sets, ending with a double-band finale you're not likely to forget.
Come help us celebrate our almost 25th year of monthly swing dances by coming out to dance to these two great bands all night long.
 Eight to the Bar is one of the finest, most energetic bands this side of the Hudson
(and one of our most popular). Drawing its musical influences from American roots music - swing, boogie woogie, rhythm & blues, soul, Motown, Eight to the Bar is known for its outstanding instrumentalists and sophisticated musical and vocal arrangements, highlighted by their double female vocals.
The Love Dogs just celebrated their sixteenth year wowing audiences and critics alike with their combination of great musicianship and pure fun. Led by the crazy and charismatic Ed Scheer, along with a red-hot horn section, barrelhouse boogie-woogie piano, stinging Fender guitar, and a swinging rhythm section, the Dogs combine elements of jump blues, New Orleans R&B and early rock 'n' roll into their own powerhouse sound.
But WAIT, there's more. Hop to the Beat will be performing their latest routine. Come cheer them on!
Check out a video of the two-band Jam!!!
February 11: Sax Gordon and the Little Town Rockers
 "Sax" Gordon Beadle is one of the most exciting and in-demand performers carrying on the great tradition of American Rhythm & Blues Saxophone, both in studios and in clubs and concert halls worldwide. With astonishing ability and virtually unmatched energy, Gordon brings rocking sax workouts, swinging classics, gutbucket Blues, and deep ballads alive like no other player on the scene today. Please note, this is a larger version of Gordon's band put together just for our dance!
March 10: Sunny Crownover Swing Band with Duke Robillard
 This band played at the Dance Flurry last year and brought the house down! The band was swinging, Sunny was wailing, and Duke was his usual great self. After dancing to them for an hour, I knew I had to bring them to Boston. So, here's your chance to hear a really hot band and dance the night away!
April 14: Sweet Willie D & the Continental Walk

The Blues! Led by the dynamic singing of Sweet Willie D, the Continental Walk plays
