Location: Based in Cape Town

Artist Info

Heating up dance floors across South Africa while leaving a trail of fun and entertainment behind them, the Swingsetters is an 8-piece band from Cape Town’s deep south, providing a collection of original and covered music alternating between the styles of swing, blues and rock & roll. With its light-hearted lyrics and upbeat instrumentation, the band's music has been well-received at a variety of events including corporate functions, weddings, garden parties and 21sts, while the group still maintains a strong presence at local entertainment venues and festivals.

Formed in 2009, the Swingsetters are made up of seven highly trained and accomplished musicians who have all had success in local and UK-based bands: Chris Haw (former member of Chiaroscuro and Inigo Jones band) on guitar and vocals; Jackie Kwenda on vocals; Mike Davison (former member of Palms Up) on trumpet and trombone; Jamie Faull (former member of Eat This, Horse) on saxophone; Cameron Nyce on bass; Nathan Woodman on keys, voice and harmonica and Dave Bryant (former member of Chiaroscuro and Palms Up) on drums and voice.
