Dress your best for the Swing Dance! Join Missoula’s own hot club swing sextet Night Blooming Jasmine with special guests the Dewdroppers for a night of live music and footloose dancing.
Night Blooming Jasmine is a string jazz collective based in Missoula, Montana since 2016. Drawing inspiration from the sound of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s Hot Club quintet, NBJ features the angelic voice of Whitni Kent, Geoffrey Taylor’s violin, John Rosett’s mandolin, and Jon Schick’s slick six-string guitar. John Sporman and Jasper lay down la pomp with guitar and double bass. NBJ has been featured at the Big Sky Django Jazz Festival and the Northwest Folklife Festival.
The Dewdroppers is a dynamic jazz trio from hailing Idaho Falls, ID. Featuring vocalist Katie Engstrom, guitarist Freddy Gildersleeve, and bassist Alex Holloway, the Dewdroppers craft a sophisticated sound both familiar and fresh.
