Technical hints

The Sonic Soul Swing Jazz band combine the style and sound of the 1940s swing era with loads of energy and fun to create retro swing at it's very best. Decked out in Zoot suits, with a three-piece brass section, the band is guaranteed to transform any occasion into a party.

Swing is enjoying a resurgence led by Robbie Williams, Rod Stewart, Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jnr, Brian Setzer Orchestra and even our own Australian Idol contestants are swinging in the new millennium. Sonic Soul has seized on this newfound passion are are ready to go daddy -oh!!

You can use the 3 piece or 5 piece band for smaller events but most functions make the most of the dynamics of the 8-piece retro swing band size for a really impressive night out.
