    AD COPY
Exciting and entertaining, SwingSoniq's music is a great blend of Django Reinhardt style Hot-Club swing, Country Swing, and Blues.

Featuring Greg Leskiw (formerly of The Guess Who), a SwingSoniq concert incorporates humour, audience participation, and above all, great songs and excellent musicianship.

SwingSoniq is a vibrant, all acoustic blend of three amazing musical talents who celebrate the sounds of yesteryear with their own version of contemporary jazz-swing.

In a remarkably short time, SwingSoniq has ascended to the upper echelons of the Canadian music scene. Performances at the Montreal Jazz Festival and the Winnipeg Folk Festival have secured the band a position of unparalleled profile.

Their debut recording Moonglow is a fantastic collection of original compositions and hand-picked standards. SwingSoniq was honoured with two 1999 Prairie Music Award nominations ­ Outstanding Jazz Recording for Moonglow and Outstanding Songwriter for Greg Leskiw.
