Sweet As Swing: Aussie Classics Re-Imagined

Music • Jazz
South Australia
Ever thought 'Bloody oath this Chisel song would sound heaps good as a swinger'? or 'Crikey, this Acca-Dacca tune could use some 4 part harmony'? Yeah nah, neither. But struth, wouldn't that be a bloody ripper? 'Sweet As Swing' reimagines your favourite Aussie songs from 'Waltzing Matilda' to 'Highway To Hell' and serves them up with a jazz twist!

This premier features original arrangements heavily featuring 4 part male vocal harmony inspired by The Hi-lo's, The Four Freshmen, and Lambert Hendricks & Ross.

After a sell out season at the 2019 Adelaide Fringe, Sweet As Swing are back and sounding better than ever, with a you-beaut band!

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