"Listening to Eight to the Bar is a lot like driving along a time-warped highway precisely halfway between Count Basie's Kansas City and Fats Waller's Harlem, where the car radio picks up everything from 'Take the A Train' to 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.' Their material, like their outlandish wardrobes and onstage choreography, is a colorful mix of forties jive and swing, fifties jump blues, sixties Motown, and their own swing-influenced tunes. With their female vocals, saxophone, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums, this unique sextet pack a musical and visual wallop not seen in New England since the group's inception in 1975."

Beginners welcome, and no partner is necessary.
