Atomic Swing Club
Facebook
Time: 12:00 - 2:00 | Location: In front of Prevention of Blindness 3716 Howard Ave
The ATOMIC Swing Club is D.C.'s most energetic, compelling, and exciting swing band. The music is a diverse, perky mix of swing, rockabilly, big band, lounge, and jazz with a rockin' edge !! The band brings alive the savvy, swinging vibe that made the swing music of the 30's through to the 50's so very popular but adds an explosive edge which is very engaging to all audiences."
