The Swing Legacy

Boston swing big band, 1990s‑present dance‑hall jazz ensemble

Headliner


The Swing Legacy is a Boston‑based six‑piece swing band, often called a "little big band," featuring trumpet, saxophones, piano, bass, drums and a female vocalist. Formed in 1991, they play classic big‑band repertoire from Duke Ellington and Count Basie, delivering high‑energy dance music for Lindy Hop and swing dancing.

Advance Students & Seniors $13 · Advance General $18 · Door $15–$20

Advance tickets must be purchased by 11pm on Thursday before the Friday dance.
