LIVE MUSIC – Fruit Stand Jam Band – 4/27/13

April 22nd, 2013

Back by popular demand, Fruit Stand Jam Band will appear live April 27, 2013 at the Whirl & Twirl.  The band has been playing gigs around the southeast and now it’s time to welcome them back home! FSJB recreates the spirit and feel of the strong, pulsing rhythms and swinging melodies and solos that were characteristic of jazz performed between the 1920s and 1950s – stylings range from dixieland, hot jazz, gypsy jazz, and early swing, with an infusion of the band’s own character.  This band brought the house down when they were here last December, so their next performance at the Whirl & Twirl is not to be missed!

There’s more! The one and only DJ Natch will be spinning some sweet tunes between band sets.

The Whirl and Twirl is a venue built FOR dancers. Six air conditioners, numerous large fans, and a double-floated wood floor make the Whirl and Twirl one of the nicest dance venues in the state. Located just eight miles from UCF, the venue is smoke and alcohol free, and welcoming of all ages.
