SUMMARY:The Smack Dabs
DESCRIPTION:The Smack Dabs specialize in good-time Swing Blues music from the 1930s\, featuring the songs of Tampa Red\, Big Bill Broonzy\, The Harlem Hamfats\, and many others. \nThis delightful and timeless genre features a rich variety of musical styles\, ranging from mournful blues to joyful celebrations\, setting the stage for incredible solo and group improvisations and delighting audiences and dancers alike. \nThe 1930s were halcyon days for Swing music\, but not just for the likes of big bands like Duke Ellington\, Benny Goodman\, Jimmy Lunceford\, and the Dorsey Brothers. There were literally hundreds of small Swing combos from trios to octets\, each with its own unique take on the music that dominated the market during the height of the Great Depression. \nThe Smack Dabs’ sound is influenced by a mélange of musical styles. The band gets its instrumental configuration from Tampa Red and his Chicago Five\, improvisational vitality from the small Black Swing combo\, and swagger from risqué Blues. \nPresales end at 4:30 on the show date. Tickets available at the door. \nDoors: 7pm • Performance: 7:30–9:30pm • $25/advance (incl. fees) • $30/door \nClick HERE for tickets to The Smack Dabs on Thursday\, October 15\, 2026!
