Spring Swing Lawn Party at Ivy Station

Get into the swing of spring with live jazz and swing dancing on the Ivy Station lawn in Culver City!

Classic lawn and board games will be available for laid-back fun. All ages are welcome.

About Big Butter Jazz Band:

The Big Butter Jazz Band is dedicated to playing New Orleans Traditional (aka Trad) jazz and Swing jazz. Standards and songs from the 1900's-1930's and Tin Pan Alley, back from the times when jazz was still dance music. Whether you call it—Trad, early jazz, hot jazz, Dixieland, New Orleans jazz, or vintage jazz—it's full of beautiful melodies, infectious energy, and a pulsing rhythm that you can't help but dance to. The band was founded in 2013 and has been playing restaurants, bars, festivals, special events, jazz festivals and swing dances all around Southern California ever since.

Drawing inspiration from the musicians of the past as well as the young New Orleans bands on Frenchmen Street, they’ll get your feet shuffling, head bobbing, fingers snapping, and body moving with their hard-driving rhythm section and hot ensemble choruses. Big Butter is delighting LA’s swing dance crowd and many others with their hot speakeasy sounds.
