The Swanky Kitchen Band (Cayman Islands)
https://swankykitchenband.com/
Guardian of Caymanian Culture
Swanky Kitchen Band is the guardian of the Cayman Islands’ indigenous musical genre- kitchen dance music.
Since 2003, Swanky Kitchen Band has grown a loyal fan base and is Cayman's most sought after and
acclaimed performing act.
This dynamic 10-piece band comprises Samuel Rose (fiddle) Nicholas Johnson (guitar), Paula
Scott (grater/shakers), Lammie Seymour (bass) Devon Edie, (sax/harmonica), Christopher
Seymour (lead guitar) KK Alese- (vocals), Jeffrey Wilson (vocals), Beneil Miller on (vocals and keys) and Jared Tibbetts (drums).
They honour their violin-centric roots which can be traced back to the Irish and Celtic fiddling
traditions brought to the Cayman Islands by its earliest permanent settlers. But the driving pulse
of the music comes from the vibrant rhythms brought across by African slaves. The unique
blending of African and European heritage runs through the blood lines of native Caymanians as
well as through their beloved kitchen dance music.
Swanky Kitchen Band has crafted a truly unique sound which balances preserving Caymanian
heritage with putting a fresh spin on popular music and old standards. Accomplished songwriters
and arrangers, they have developed an impressive and growing repertoire of original music and
have produced 2 albums. A seasoned touring band, they have performed throughout the
Caribbean, the United States, the United Kingdom and Panama.
Adaptability is a key feature of the band. They can perform in virtually any setting. They can play
acoustically, or perform a high powered electric set at a major concert. They are equally comfortable
sharing their heritage with school students, or being a featured artist at a corporate event.
Swanky Kitchen Band is ready to take you on an authentic Caymanian musical experience as
they continue their mission to preserve the Caribbean’s most endangered musical genre.
