The Westerlees swing band plays both rare and popular tunes from the early 20th Century. Steel Guitar, Fiddle, Clarinet all come together to recreate the standard Western Swing lineup of the 1930's. Everything from the Light Crust Doughboys to Bob Wills to Hank Williams is performed with levity and humor. Swing-era standards are carefully selected and arranged for maximum danceabilty. They also have many original tunes that capture the drollery of the Western Swing genre.The band was founded in 2014 by singer and steel guitarist, Patrick Brenner. The band also includes Ed Novak on Guitar, Ben Holt on Upright Bass, Allen Russell on Fiddle, Jerry Kaye on Sax and Clarinet, Frank Gualtieri on Trombone, Amanda Mae on vocals, and a rotating cast of other soloists and vocalists, each bringing their own expertise and personality to the delectably nostalgic sound and performance of the Westerlees.
