Blue Sky 5 + 2 February 9, 2008

If you love to lindy hop, remember the days when "swing was king", or just appreciate good vintage jazz, you can dig all that jive with Blue Sky 5+2.

The bands repertoire is classic American swing, with songs made popular by Count Basie, Nat Cole, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Fats Waller, along with tunes by other swing era artists. Our larger ensemble adds the lilting vocals of Chris Crerar, and the carefree clarinet of Gary Gregg.

Not just a repertoire band, Blue Sky 5 performs original songs written by Craig Gildner and arranged by the musicians that capture the era's style and sizzle. It's sole mission: to keep live swing music thriving for generations to come and have a ball doing it!
