What Is Swing Dance?

        Our Next Dance Friday Mar 5th - The Lustre Kings

 

Mark Gamsjager’s Lustre Kings play rock‘n’roll the right way. The powerhouse combo has wowed crowds at Manhattan's Rodeo Bar, Seattle's Tractor Tavern and all points in-between, performing 150 dates a year and appearing at major festivals.

The Gretsch guitar-toting Gamsjager draws from a deeper well than most roots rock acts, giving his music breadth and depth while still keeping the place hopping and dancing. The Lustre Kings will play doo-wop and wild rock’n’ roll, and then bring you back to rockabilly. Their music is a travelogue of great rock‘n’roll, with tunes from legends like Gene Vincent and Ronnie Self, as well as from the Los Straitjackets’ guitar strangler, Eddie Angel. They have captured the spirit of that era.

"The Lustre Kings dig deep into early rock and related styles, connecting the dots among such unlikely musical bedfellows as Conway Twitty and Duke Ellington (including the Duke’s "Caravan")." Music so powerful it leaves listeners hungry for more.
