Hoffman Center in full swing Saturday night
MANZANITA — Stumptown Swing performs
at the Hoffman Center for the Arts at 7 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 15.
Admission is $20 at the door. Tickets are
also available at Brown Paper Tickets.
Stumptown Swing takes audiences back
to 1920s Paris, when gypsies with guitars,
violins and upright basses made the leap from
French musette to American “hot jazz” and
kept Parisians dancing to this evocative new
sound.
Rio Con Brio’s Tim Connell on mandolin
and Mike Burdette on guitar formed the group
after nearly a decade of playing swing gigs
with Portland’s best acoustic musicians. They
snapped up upright bass player Keith Brush
Stumptown Swing
and feature their longtime friend and collabo-
rator, violinist Ben Blechman.
Stumptown Swing performs a set of hot,
cool and sultry classics.
The Hoffman Center is at 594 Laneda Ave.
