The Smack Dabs & Le Prestige!

Two of Boston's hippest bands join forces in a delightfully unexpected partnership, transporting the audience on a listening/dancing tour of grooves and riffs that traverses much of the US and over 100 years!
"The Smack Dabs" invite the listener on a delightful romp into the 1930s, wandering into juke joints to marvel at the rich musical tapestry of Swing Blues, featuring artists like Tampa Red and Harlem Hamfats. They celebrate the bawdy, joyous, inclusive character of this music, honor those who made it great, and carry the tradition forward into the 21st century as a powerful launchpad for musical expression.
"Le Prestige" makes low-tech, organic, and improvisational instrumental music influenced by both the looped grooves of 90's hip-hop and 60’s “soul jazz” stylings. They create danceable grooves with funk, jazz and reggae melodies. The band will be in octet form for this show, with Chris Forkey (bass), John Glenshaw (drums), David Johnston (guitar), Gary Wallen (vibraphone), Kit Buckley (tenor sax), Charles Murrell (alto sax/flute), Dana Colley (baritone sax), and Elizabeth Steen (accordion).
