TONIGHT’S SHOW IS MOVED INDOORS DUE TO RAIN. JOIN US AT NEXT STAGE ARTS, 15 KIMBALL HILL

Silverback Swing performs music reminiscent of French cafés from a bygone era—jazz known as Gypsy Jazz, Jazz Manouche, or Hot Club music—in the style of the legendary French Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. The band’s repertoire includes classic instrumentals from Django’s group, the Hot Club of France, along with other songs from the era that have become jazz standards.

Silverback Swing began as a weekly session at The Gleanery in Putney eight years ago and has since performed at festivals, clubs, breweries, and other venues throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.

The current lineup features Alton Lathrop (lead guitar), Gus Hollingsworth (accordion, vocals), Steve Frankel (bass), and Mark Anagnostopulos (guitar, vocals).
