It's a Battle Royale between two swing dance kings! Each band will take a solo set and then join onstage for a third set with BOTH BANDS! What an absolute ton of fun. Both bands encompass lots of musicians you'll easily recognize. Such a thrill to see these two groups together!
At the intersection of swing, rockabilly and jump blues is where you’ll find KING TEDDY, happily hanging out and humming Beatles tunes. Although their influences are varied (including everyone from Louis Prima to Sam Cooke to Gene Vincent to the afore-mentioned quartet), they are single-minded in their musical mission—to swing, baby! One of our long-time favorite go-to bands for swing dance fun.
Born of a mutual passion for the deep, down home sounds of an earlier time, eight-piece band KING SOUL is bringing the excitement of old school Southern Soul to a new audience. Featuring original songs, powerful vocals and a badass horn section, King Soul has become a top draw at area clubs and events. The allstar band includes members of the Slickee Boys, Rhodes Tavern Troubadours, The Recliners, The Grandsons, Hula Monsters, the Thangs and the J Street Jumpers. King Soul’s membership holds more than 30 Washington Area Music Association Wammies and Austin Music Awards to its credit. King Soul is proud to play the music the way it is meant to be played – with energy and conviction.
