Us! An eccentric group of musicians playing some stuff you'll recognize and some you won't!
We've been together for about 2 years or so. We started just jamming playing some Motown, R&B, Jazz and other stuff and it took off! We're really diverse (see members section) so we have a lot of different sounds and ideas. Using the horns in various ways (and especially Ernie's flute) really makes a unique sound. Probably not like any other band you've seen or heard.
you guys are the best!!!! Thanks for writing. Its always nice to hear from friends. I just found my new band here in Los Angeles and we start rehearsing on wednesday!!!! Yay Finally . . . Though rehearsals are going to cost me a fortune as no one lives in a house. Rehearsal space is expensive!! I will let you know when I come home for the holidays :)
Come to The Getaway on Sat. , Jan 24! Sara Risner is AWESOME! You don't want to miss it! Then you can dance and laugh with The Swizzle Stick Band following Sara!
