Third Coast Swing Band

Third Coast Swing has been playing the music of The late Belgium born Romani Gypsy, Django Reinhardt & his band, The Hot Club Of Paris 1930’-1940’s. Think Louis Armstrong with a French accent. Third Coast Swing has changed it up a bit and is currently touring with the Detroit native Dave Bennett, Violinist Grant Flick , Vocalist Ella Jury Jarvis & Pianist Andrew Henley. Ella and our guitarist Kaedin Plummer did a deep dive on early jazz classics by Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Billy Holiday and then we arranged these songs to fit Third Coast Swings style.

Third Coast Swing has performed regionally for WYCE/LOCALSPINS at The BOB, The West MI Jazz Society, The Ludington Amphitheater, The Ludington Area Center for the Arts, Bell’s Kalamazoo, London Chop House, Detroit Jazz Society, Crooked Tree Art’s Center, Kerrytown Concert House, Playhouse at Whitelake, Ramsdell Theater, Westshore Performing Arts and more.

Third Coast Swing’s Music “is steeped in a tradition of a rich culture from Europe. The concert makes for an excellent evening of stories and music that conjure thoughts of French Cafe, traveling Europe, or dancing to Hot Jazz Of The pre/post war era....publication
