Reviews of The Swingin' Swamis
Professional Network & Endorsements
We recommend the Swingin' Swamis at Chase Court more than any other band. Why? Powerful presentation, ultra-professional look and feel (not true of every band…), and a broad and perfectly-crafted repertoire. With a singer up front (or not, your choice), they move the room! Bands that can get everyone dancing are wonderful to have and uncommon to find. The Swingin' Swamis do it, and in spades! Worth your consideration.
