Edinburgh-based Viper Swing play hot string jazz: infectious rhythms, joyful improvisations, and gravelly vocals blend to evoke the swing-era spirit of the 1920’s, 30’s, and 40’s. Whether on a festival stage or at an intimate cocktail reception, the band sets toes to tapping, hips to swaying, and hearts to singing. Years of dedication and consummate artistry shine through every note they play. Their repertoire includes works of the legendary gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, songs from the Great American Songbook, and original compositions—along with swing arrangements of modern pop songs (Michael Jackson, Abba, and Daft Punk, to name a few). They perform regularly in Edinburgh and around the UK. Past performances include Edinburgh Jazz Festival, Aberdeen Jazz Festival, Callander Jazz Festival, Dundee Jazz Club, Garioch Jazz Club, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Kelburn Garden Party, Knockengorroch World Cèilidh, Eden Festival, TV appearances, and an ongoing Sunday residency at the Edinburgh Sheraton Hotel since 2016.
