more to come…
Cultural preservationist and flat-picker extraordinaire Brennen Leigh comes to Campus JAX on Sun. June 19 (fathers day) for a 1 pm showcase with her Western swing band in support of her new album of original Western swing songs – “Obsessed with the West” (which features Asleep at the Wheel as her studio band.)
You may have heard she is channeling Cindy Walker and Bob Wills for this new endeavor – and it is compellingly danceable. Her original western swing numbers feel as comfortable as any classics you have hard from the 40s and 50s.
Openers will be the Soda Crackers from the Central Valley, who played a recent Hillbilly Jazz show at JAX, and perform very danceable western swing.

Big Sandy’s Barndance Boogie Western Swing Dance Festival takes over a gorgeous art deco venue in Long Beach, At The Top, with a chuckwagon BBQ, private booths, full bar and a huge wood dance floor.
In the post-war years, when the fleet would come in to Long Beach harbor, the bars and clubs would be crowded with servicemen enjoying Western Swing music from Bob Wills, Spade Cooley, Patsy Cline and many more. We are bringing that vintage flavor back for one big day. Join us!
