SwingSoniq's
repertoire consists of popular song standards of the 30's and 40's.
Songs like: "After You've Gone", "Moonglow", and "Shine."
Louis Armstrong hits: "Wonderful World", "Sweet Georgia Brown", and
"Limehouse Blues."
And timeless greats by Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darrin, Hank Williams
and Willie Nelson.
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.
