The Swizzle Stick Band (or "SSB as we call it for short!) is truly evolved from a jam session! The band members got together at a party years ago just to jam and then did it again and again until a band was formed. As a result we are all friends (and brothers!) and the chemistry of the band is unique, unusually close and really fun. We've been known to jam out on a tune or improvise something midstream without a hitch. It makes every performance exciting for the listeners and the band. Everyone really has a good time and loves playing music.

The players come from a variety of backgrounds - many studied music in college - covering many genres including jazz, funk, blues, rock, country, classical and even polka! This diversity of skills along with the 4 piece horn line gives "SSB" a big sound unlike any other band. We love to see the audience get up and dance so we strive for an exciting and fun show!  

We have performed at many venues in NE Ohio and Western, PA including many summer concerts and special events. In 2011 we played in the Akron Summer Concert Series, The Stone Soul Festival, The Taste of Hudson and many town community days and civic events in the area. You can often find us performing at area clubs as well.

The Swizzle Stick Band has been recognized in many local media outlets including The Akron Beacon Journal, The West Side Leader, The Falls Press and Fox 8 to name a few.

We are available for clubs, special events, receptions or about anywhere you want a very professional and exciting Motown/Funk band!
