BluesSwing explores the blues and popular song roots of American music, from W.C. Handy to B.B. King, from Thomas “Fats” Waller to Nat “King” Cole — and adds the occasional Beatles or Elvis number to spice things up. The solid rhythmic foundation of bass (Carl Yaffey), drums (Kevin Truman), and banjo (Jackie LaMuth) allows our tasteful lead guitar (John Sherman) and distinctive vocals (Bill Kerwin) to send this classic mix of tunes straight to your hearts.

Free-will donations will benefit SPAN [Single-Payer Action Network] Ohio, a coalition of individuals and organizations working together to achieve fundamental reform of the health insurance system.

Refreshments will be served.
