Bio
... .... ..FOR A COMPLETE LISTING OF 6 FOOT SWING GIGS AND UPCOMING PERFORMANCES, CLICK HERE ... ... .... .... .... ..SWING IS IN THE AIR ..Pacific Northwest Inlander ..by RACHEL SIEMENS ..Publication Date: 5/16/07 ..* ..Smoky back rooms, jangly piano and finger curls... a little moonshine and a few rounds on the dance floor to ease your working blues... speakeasies, gangsters, and zoot suits — the 1930s was a time of intense glamour, intrigue and romance. If only there was some way people nowadays could experience that same blend of decadence and despair... ..* ..Well, there is. Right in our own backyard, a storm has been a-brewin' in the form of a burgeoning swing-jazz scene. Spokane natives 6' Swing bridge the gap between 1930 and 2007 with surprisingly contemporary, vintage swing jazz. It's a seeming oxymoron the band pulls off and pulls off well. With the horn section blaring and the piano skipping and jumping over singer Heather O'Brien's smoky voice, the melodic hum of the upright bass and the metallic buzz of the washboard, 6' Swing's music is an intoxicating, driving assemblage. ..* ..Comments About 6 Foot Swing: .. .. "Dear 6 foot swing, Thank you for helping to make my mom's 80th birthday party a truly memorable event. As you could see, she loves to dance and your music was just perfect for her. You are incredible musicians and thank you so much for being willing to play the special requests for her. "In the Mood" was my mom & dad's song that they danced to when they were dating and a favorite throughout their lives until he passed away. "Can I have this dance?" is the song that my mom and her new husband Al share. It was really special for her to have both of those songs at her party. After the crowd started thinning out and it was mostly family, we enjoyed just sitting back and listening to your music. A perfect night. All the best, Glenna Mileson" ~3/29/08 ..* .... .. .. .. .. ..found this ....retro layout.... at ......HOT..FreeLayouts.com.... :: ..MyHotComments.. ..
