Fronted by Madison’s First Couple of Swing, Sims and Maggie Delaney-Potthoff, Harmonious Wail has spent almost three decades perfecting the sounds of Gypsy swing and be-bop jazz. At this festive release party for Holiday Spirits, treat yourself to a “Wail N’Good Cheer” signature cocktail while taking in Harmonious Wail’s versions of holiday classics, plus a few surprises, such as Burt Bacharach’s “What the World Needs Now.”
press release: Cover charge is $8 per person.
Harmonious Wail draws from the rich musical influence of the European gypsy musicians, most notably Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, while bringing in crowd-pleasing vocal performances in the tradition of bands such as The Manhattan Transfer and Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. The new Holiday Spirits CD is $10 and will be available for sale.
