July 2 - Swing Caravan!
The duo of guitarist and vocalist Matthew Shippee (who also plays oud) and bassist Julia Kay will bring their unique blend of acoustic swing to Crow Town Gallery on July 2 at 7 pm. The Gallery is located at 406 South Lubec Road in Lubec, Maine. Surrounded by the art of Bonnie Beard, Shanna Wheelock, and Sheryl Denbo, Swing Caravan will bring back memories of Django Rheinhardt's Gypsy Jazz mixed with traditional and original compositions and Swing Caravan's unique style.
As the Swing Caravan web site states, "Their sound ranges from uplifting and blazing fast syncopated rhythms to heartfelt, sparse ballads with vocals. In an era flooded with musical acts of all sorts, Swing Caravan stands out as a blend of high-level musicianship and dedication to fun, spontaneous, playfulness that audiences appreciate."
“Of all the nationally touring acts that come through, Swing Caravan is one of our favorites…everyone glides out the door after with a smile. They will really blow your mind!”
—David Oppenheim, Performing Arts Center of Easthampton
