Calling all Jazz fans: The Stolen Sweets will steal your hearts. The national touring jazz act will be in the area for the Western Michigan leg of its Great Lakes tour.
The Stolen Sweets have played shows with The Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Pink Martini, Wayne Hancock, and The Squirrel Nut Zippers. It also recently headlined the Boswell Centennial Festival.
The sound of the band mixes pre-war traditional jazz with Django-esque hot club jazz manouche, layered with the three part harmony of the Boswell sisters. The Stolen Sweets formed in 2005, in hopes of keeping the sound of the Boswell Sisters alive.
The band is fronted by vocalists Jen Bernard, Lara Michell & Erin Sutherland. Keith Brush plays bass, and Pete Krebs and David Langenes are the guitarists/singers. The Stolen Sweets have a good-natured happy sound, with a touch of humor that is sure to make the listener forget all worries.
Originating from Portland, Michigan, the band will be back in Michigan September 17 at Bell's Brewery and the Eclectic Cafe. Tickets are $5. Learn more about The Stolen Sweets from its Myspace and web site.
