Delco Nightingale is bringing a rockin' new twist to swing era classics here in Philadelphia. This group of musical personalities is comprised of vocalist Erin Berry, guitarist Greg Phoenix, upright bassist Sawyer Thomas and drummer Eddie Everett. These musicians infuse their individual expertise in jazz, rockabilly, live theatre and outsider music to create a uniquely swinging sound. Their goal is to bring these cleverly written, fun and romantic songs not only to nostalgic listeners of big band standards, but also to a new audience whose familiarity with this music may not go beyond glances of WWII films and perused record collections from the family credenza. Any music lover who wants to see a fun and engaging show will certainly not be disappointed once they find themselves humming along with or dancing to the sounds of Delco Nightingale.

"How many Philadelphia bands would dare cover Gershwin and Jack Lawrence in the same breath? Just one, clearly. Oozing with sultry confidence and some truly antique chops, Delco Nightingale gives nostalgia the good name it deserves" - Doug Wallen (Philadelphia Weekly, Philadelphia Inquirer)
....................................................................................................................................
“Delco Nightingale brings back the seductive swing tunes of the forties! Influenced by modern Rockabilly and Jazz, these cats make a sound that blends the old cabaret sound with down home rhythm, and their live performances showcase this excellently. Erin Berry sings and dresses the part…swaying to the melody of her tunes. Greg Phoenix plays his guitar dressed to impress with both vigor and intensity. Sawyer Thomas is reminiscent of the old time big bass players, transfixed and engulfed by the rhythm of his bass. Brian Turner keeps the genteel swing rhythm with the precision of a 1940’s show band. A great show to see with an impressive old time sound to back it up.”
-Elvis McGovern (Wreckhouse Promotions)
