Why is The Swing Legacy in such demand for wedding receptions and parties?

Our original arrangements make The Swing Legacy unique among Boston swing bands. We are only six pieces plus vocalist, but we utilize our own written arrangements to emulate the polish and organized structure of a classic big swing band, and this sets us apart from generic wedding bands and indeed most swing bands. This approach to performing swing music results in a full, unified big-band sound which is classy, elegant, and exciting.

People of all ages love The Swing Legacy. The high energy, polish, and verve of The Swing Legacy appeal to all generations. Swing music is universally popular because it is dynamic, very danceable, accessible, and classy.

Everyone dances!. Our prime goal is a packed dance floor, and we take our cues from the dancers, to see what musical moods and tempos bring out the greatest number of dancers. Whatever types of songs work best, we then favor them.

Our vocalist Debby Larkin has strong rapport with all kinds of audiences, and her natural exuberance complements perfectly the band’s ebullient musical personality. Audiences tend to love Debby madly.

Although swing music is our forte, we can play anything which comes under the generic heading of “Ballroom Dance Music”, such as foxtrot, waltz, polka, cha-cha, rhumba, samba, mambo, tango, beguine, bossa nova, merengue, etc. We can play virtually any “standard”, i.e., well-known pop songs and show tunes from the first half of the 20th century, often referred to as “The Great American Songbook” — think of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.

A substantial part of our repertoire is well-suited for background dinner music, for which we play a combination of slow, low-energy songs (“ballads”) and quiet, lightly-swinging numbers.

We have played throughout New England for innumerable wedding receptions, private parties, swing dances, jazz concerts, corporate events, and fund-raisers.
