In a whimsical corner of the musical universe, nestled between the sassy strums of a guitar and the sultry sway of a bass, you’ll find Swing Je T’aime - a quintet where gypsy jazz is the main course, and quirk is the special of the day. It’s said that every band has its beat, and this one pulses to the rhythm of something delightfully out of the ordinary.

Aaron Walker, the maestro of mischief, once dreamt up a symphony of sounds so vivid, it could only take shape in the real world through the imagination of a band of misfit musicians who are half Nikola Telsa, three quarters Alton Brown, and twenty-five percent Toney Stark.

Swing Je T’aime wasn’t just a band; it was a movement on a melodious mission, spinning stories through strings and serenades. The five troubadours - Aaron (guitar), Laura (vocals), Luke (guitar), Gary (bass) and Manuel (drums), each a virtuoso with a touch of vaudeville - set out to conquer hearts one plucky tune at a time.

From the frost-kissed landscapes of Iceland to the effervescent buzz of Germany, they’ve swung up everything from quaint town squares to grand festival stages. With Laura’s voice leading the charge - a honeyed voice that hypnotizes unsuspecting listeners - they’ve left audiences utterly enchanted, spellbound, and delighted.

As time waltzed on, Swing Je T’aime became not just a band, but a group of cherished friends; notorious for turning the mundane into the magical. They’ve become the acoustic alchemists of the jazz world, known for crafting gold out of mere musical notes.

Gypsy swing, old standards, new classics, American Songbook, and mashed up pop tunes, there isn’t anything they won’t reshape, remake, and reimagine.

Opening acts: Kevin Mastin, Frank Moore
