In the Strauss Black Box Theatre at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center

SWUNK! is the electrifying brainchild of St. Louis trumpeter, vocalist, and composer Dawn Weber. This genre-blending ensemble fuses the infectious rhythms of swing with the groove of funk, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Their repertoire features original compositions alongside reimagined classics from the 1930s, all delivered with a contemporary twist. Adding layers of traditional blues and jump blues, SWUNK! crafts a musical experience that's as diverse as it is danceable.

With a lineup of top-tier St. Louis musicians, including violinist Aska Maret, guitarist Eric Slaughter, bassist Colin Trusedell, drummer Bernard Long, and keyboardist Bob Row, the band delivers performances that are both tight and improvisational. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a newcomer to the scene, SWUNK!'s dynamic energy and innovative sound promise an unforgettable live experience.
