★★★★ "An unexpected delight" This And That

From 'Love Is In The Air' to 'Highway To Hell', an unmissable journey through the Australian songbook... with a jazz twist!

After hit seasons at the Fringe in 2019 and 2020, the lads are back with their sizzling harmonies, new arrangements and a you-beaut' band! Taking inspiration from The Hi-lo's, Lambert Hendricks & Ross and Take 6, 'Sweet As Swing' are fresh out of the studio, having recorded their debut album in 2020, and are playing The Top Of The Ark for one night only. So suit up, grab a tinnie and enjoy your favourite Aussie hits as you've never heard them before!

Presented by: Sweet As Swing

Formed in 2018 by vocalist and educator Kelly Doddridge, ‘Sweet As Swing’ is a vibrant vocal jazz quartet also featuring Marcus Ryan (vocals/guitar), Ryan Casey (vocals/trumpet), and Andrew Casey (vocals/piano). The group met while studying music at the Elder Conservatorium and singing in the Adelaide Connection Jazz Choir.

After making their debut at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2019 and returning in 2020, the group continues to write and perform arrangements that honour the traditions of jazz while paying tribute to the most loved Australian rock and pop hits; from ‘Eagle Rock’ and ‘Reminiscing’ to ‘Love Is In The Air’. ‘Sweet As Swing's all-original arrangements are rich in jazz harmony and at times, flavours of latin American rhythm.
