Get ready to jump, jive, and swing! The Neil Fontano Jazz Band brings high-energy rhythm to the dance floor with a fresh, dynamic sound. Led by rising star Neil Angelo Fontano, this powerhouse group delivers a lively mix of 1930s-1950s swing and jump blues. Having played with top-tier acts like Nick Rossi’s Swing Six and Johnny Bones & the Palace of Jazz, Neil now takes center stage with his own band, guaranteed to keep dancers on their feet all night long!
