The Westwind Swing Band was founded by Joe Singer in 2014 and includes members from all over the western Twin Cities communities. We perform public concerts throughout the year at a number of locations throughout the Twin Cities. From senior centers to breweries, the band enjoys the wide variety of venues. The instrumentation consists of a hybrid of Dixieland and swing and features music of the 1920s-1940s. Selections include popular songs from the Great American Songbook in addition to music from other big bands such as Ellington and Goodman. If you’re a fan of swing and Artie Shaw, you’ll love the Westwind Swing Band.
Our mission is to preserve the music of the Swing Era by sharing our joy of classic Swing band arrangements as accomplished musicians
