Swing Noire

Violinist David Gusakov, twins Rob and Jim McCuen on guitar and double bass, and guitarist Jim Stout make up Vermont’s newest (and hottest) acoustic, Hot Club style quartet with music that “will entrance and surprise you.”

“These Reinhardt acolytes genuinely channel American Hot Jazz, evoking images of smoky basement speakeasies and slinky cabarets.”
— Dan Bolles, Seven Days

Concert sponsored by Casella Waste Management

 

 

Gene Childers and the Jubilee Jazz Band

Our favorites! These musicians keep the tradition of early jazz alive. The musicians are from Vermont and New York and are among some of the finest in the Northeast. With years of experience playing far and wide, expect swinging ensemble playing, hot solos, and a fun, toe-tapping, good time for the whole family. Sponsored by Lake Sunapee Bank

The band’s songs range from John Hiatt, The Subdudes, Bruce Cockburn, Greg Brown, Ry Cooder. Los Lobos, The Rolling Stones, The Band, and even a little R&Bs. Dancing is the goal, but if people want to just squat, listening is certainly an option. Concert sponsored by Ms. Bette Moffett.
