8:00-10:30 Carl Sonny Leyland and Friends

We are so excited to welcome Carl Sonny Leyland to Sactown Swings! He has been described as the greatest living Boogie Woogie piano player on the planet, and we agree. Check his website for more info, or just take our word for it; you need to see him live.

“Whether playing solo or with his trio, or with his quintet The Boogie Woogie Boys, Leyland's playing displays an infectious spontaneity, providing plenty of surprises for the listener.  While he possesses the necessary vocabulary to pay tribute to the greats of old, he refuses to be limit himself to this & prefers to let each performance be an opportunity to say something new. His repertoire spans the Ragtime era to the 1950s & includes a number of self written material.”

More info about this amazing night of dancing can be found under the Social Dances tab.
