The Carolina Chocolate Drops are coming to Huntsville! These guys aren't necessarily swing musicians, but instead capture historical folk, blues, and appalachian sound.

Carsie Blanton, from Philadelphia, is going to be performing at Workplay on April 28th! She's an awesome musician (and dancer) and a lot her music is danceable so you should all come and get some awesome. She'll be playing with The Wood Brothers, who the Workplay website tells me are a blues band, so it sounds like a solid night of music all around.
Blair Crimmins and The Hookers are a swanky sounding, dirty south kinda band based out of Atlanta, GA. Blair's raspy, dark sounding growls are bound to make you grind, groove, and drag. While his chunky sounding band will make you rock out with a swing out or some flailing Charleston kicks.
