BANDS

We have a blow-out year, with more live bands than you can shake a stick at.

George Gee and the Jump, Jivin’ Wailers

George Gee got his start in Pittsburgh, and we're pleased to bring him and his orchestra back from New York City once again. A showman like no other, George Gee will bring you back to the big band era!

The Boilermaker Jazz Band

The Boilermakers are hired far and wide to play at almost all of the great swing events. Pittsburgh is proud to call them our own. Led by Paul Cosentino and featuring the dulcet vocals of the dazzling Jennie Luvv, the BMJB will swing you out like never before.

Dr. Nelson Harrison's Blue to the Bone

An up-and-coming swing band in Pittsburgh, led by Dr. Nelson Harrison, a legend in the Pittsburgh and national jazz and swing scenes. Dr. Harrison has played with the greats such as Jay McShann, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Count Basie, and Andy Bey. Trained as a clinical psychologist, he's also sure to cure what ails you.

Ms Freddye and Blue Faze

A new addition to PittStop, Ms Freddye lays down soulful blues to help get you through those late night hours. We're certain she'll leave you begging for more!

Jimmy Sapienza's 5 Guys Named Moe with Kenny Blake

5 Guys Named Moe is one of Pittsburgh's mainstay swing bands, and feature a classic swing sound reminiscent of Louis Jordan, and Louie Prima. The addition of "Steeltown Sax Sensation" Kenny Blake makes them even hotter. This combo always leads to standing ovations.

Rick Matt Project

RMP is a regular PittStop crowd pleaser. They use their classic jazz chops to bring a fresh and lively interpretation to our favorite swing standards. RMP intimately knows the Pittsburgh swing scene and always plays exactly what we need to get us through the evening.
