Adam Hall & The Velvet Playboys
Ladies & gentlemen, boys & girls...
We're proud to present Adam Hall & The Velvet Playboys as the headlining act of Swing 2 Penang! On the evening of Aug 11, 2018, this dynamic jazz band from Down Under will keep you swinging through the night with their extensive repertoire of golden swing jazz standards.
A little introduction...
Formed in 2005, this 6-piece band is renowned for its captivating live performances. The band features some of West Australia's finest musicians, including Adam Hall (vocals/trumpet), Mark Turner (guitar), Anthony Dodos (trombone), Bronton Ainsworth (drums), Kate Pass (double bass), and Adrian Galante (keys). Known for their slick presentation and raw energy, they derive their musical inspiration from the jazz and R&B music of the 40s and 50s.
In recent years, the band has been actively touring Europe and they're frequently invited to play at numerous jazz festivals around the world. When on home turf, they're unmistakably a Lindy Hop crowd favourite at the Mustang Bar, Perth, Australia. Here's a clip of swing dancers shim-shaming to Adam & The Velvet Playboys' version of T'aint What You Do by Jimmy Lunceford. Enjoy!
