Swingin’ Songs from Pop’s Golden Era (tm)

Razzemetazz (tm)

Swing, Tin Pan Alley, Dixieland, Bluegrass

 
 
 
 

Exuberant

 

This acoustic group plays a wide and tasty range of rootsy and exuberant American popular music. It’s all great to listen and fun to dance to! From festivals to private parties, Razzemetazz’s fresh sounding repertoire goes with everything!

 

Razzemetazz is respectful of tradition, but there is no “cutesy”-ness nor nostalgia here. The intensity and vitality of this living music flowers in these veteran players’ experienced hands.

 

Inspiring

 

The color of their energetic sound is like their taste in repertoire: sweet and melodic yet personal and powerful. A singing violin weaves around a powerful vocal, all over a driving swing rhythm guitar and drum set. The next tune can feature mandolin on a swung Bluegrass song with twangy vocals.

 

For private parties, Beatles songs and 50s acoustic rock is also available.

 

Flexible and affordable

 

We fit the band’s size to your budget, needs, and interests. The band can be as small as a trio (a duet is sometimes possible) or as large as a mini big band by adding to the core duet acoustic bass / tuba, trumpet, trombone, second guitar, and second violin. Contact us today to discuss your plans!

 

To get your guests to get into the swing we offer free, basic couple dance instruction on the spot in (swing, tango, foxtrot, waltz, and polka)

 

Wedding dance instruction

 

For couples who want to learn how to do basic, ball-room style couple dances, especially for their first dance, we offer private tutoring at very reasonable prices taught by a husband - wife dance instructor team who make dancing easy for everyone.
