The Sweetpea Swing Band has been performing their own unique brand of traditional jazz in and around Vancouver for over three years. The band repertoire contains a lively collage of hot jazz music dating back as far as 1916. Although the bands music is firmly rooted in trad jazz, The Sweetpea Swing Band presents their music in a hip, modern style that continues to incite audiences into a dancing frenzy.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
