About
The Swing Beans is a jazz band for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Two archtop guitars, a double bass and a violin, playing bright uptempo swing and jazz from the 1920s through to the 1950s with harmony vocals over the top. I'll See You In My Dreams, Tico Tico, Cow Cow Boogie, Comes Love, I'm Beginning To See The Light. It sits well as listening music and it works if people want to dance, which is not a trick every jazz band manages. The Swing Beans have been gigging around Brisbane and south east Queensland for seven years, and they can shrink to a trio or duo if the space calls for it. They bring their own PA, need 240 volt power and an hour to set up, and hold public liability cover.
Watch
The show
Two archtop guitars, a double bass, a violin and harmony vocals, played by people who talk to a room rather than perform at it. PA comes with them, so the sound side of your event is handled.
On the day
An hour on site before your start time covers the PA and getting the stage area sorted. Access to 240 volt power is the one thing they can't bring themselves. Outdoors, they'll ask for the performance area to be under cover.
Performance options
The quartet can drop back to a trio or a duo, still playing the same jazz and swing material.
Insurance and paperwork
