??Calling all lindy hoppers, balboa-heads, charleston nuts, and shag enthusiasts! Portland's longest-running swing dance is back in action as a weekly dance at Norse Hall, bringing you fantastic live jazz music on a magnificent floor.
Donning vintage attire and hairstyles, the Newport Nightingales endeavor to take you back to a time when life was simple and the music was hot. Influenced heavily by the Andrews Sisters, the Boswell Sisters, and even the Mills Brothers, the girls couldn't sit by and let these sweet melodies become lost to the ages. The Nightingales sing tunes in 3-part harmony, mainly from the 1930s and 1940s, including Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Jeepers Creepers, Heebie Jeebies, and more!
Cover $15 | All Ages
