J.J. Swing Band to Play Jazz & Blues Weekend
The band J.J. Swing will be part of the Ellicottville Jazz & Blues Weekend as they perform Saturday, July 27 from 1:00-4:00pm at the Winery of Ellicottville. Formed in 1999 as a swing band, which was the genre that was popular at the time, they played local events like the Taste Of Buffalo, the Erie County Fair and local bars. The band only played in the summer, which is why they were considered a “summer event band.” After a year or so they decided to become a fall and winter band as well, and they are now a year round band and have found their niche as a local popular band that has quite a fan following.
