NYC's vintage swing band is pleased to make their quartet debut at Opus 40 on Sunday, August 30th! With 1940's-style arrangements and a splash of technicolor, The Swingaroos lend a spirited voice to the most-cherished songs and personalities of Broadway, Hollywood, and the swing-era Bandstand. Serving one surprise after another, this musical time warp overflows with hits by the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart; plus original music inspired by the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. Featuring "sizzling", award-winning vocals by Kimberly Hawkey and high-flying arrangements from Broadway's Assaf Gleizner, this group is "awesome in every way" (Talkin' Broadway). Dancers welcome!www.theswingaroos.com

The Swingaroos Biography
* NYC'S SWING-ERA TERRITORY BAND *
The Swingaroos are NYC's Midwestern-Born, New Orleans-bound, Hollywood-exploited Territory Band. Fronted by award-winning vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/lyricist, Kimberly Hawkey, and pianist/arranger, Assaf Gleizner, the 'roos continue the tradition of the swing-era small groups with their original music and popular numbers from the trad, swing and Hollywood songbooks. Inspired by the sounds and imagery of vintage Soundies and Golden-Age films, the six-piece group blends New Orleans hot jazz with comedic storytelling and down-home influences.
The Swingaroos' debut album, "All Aboard!" is now available for digital download at www.theswingaroos.bandcamp.com . View the pinup gallery and listen to the Swingaroo Radio at their official territory website or keep track of their travels on FB, Twitter & Instagram. www.theswingaroos.com, @theswingaroos
