FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Music Artist Peter Buffington Announces Highly Anticipated Fifth Aviation Music Album “737 Hangar Dance” by Speed Brake Armed
Waukesha, United States – February 7, 2026 –
Acclaimed artist, airline pilot, author, and piano technician Peter Buffington is thrilled to announce the release of his groundbreaking fifth studio album, 737 Hangar Dance by Speed Brake Armed, releasing worldwide on February 12, 2026.
Conceived as a bold departure from the high-octane energy of previous releases, 737 Hangar Dance transforms the spirit of aviation into pure dance-floor magic. This one-of-a-kind project resurrects the glamorous atmosphere of 1940s big band hangar dances—those legendary wartime and postwar gatherings where pilots, mechanics, and sweethearts swung the night away—then fearlessly evolves into contemporary swing, elegant waltzes, East Coast swing, West Coast swing, and heartfelt slow dances.
Recorded across layovers, hangar-inspired sessions, and late-night studio moments between long-haul flights, the album captures the romance, rhythm, and timeless joy of dancing under hangar lights or open skies. Blending lush brass sections, swinging rhythms, silky strings, and modern production touches, 737 Hangar Dance is a never-before-produced fusion: vintage big band energy meets today’s dance sensibilities, creating music equally suited for vintage-inspired events, swing dance halls, weddings, and quiet evenings of slow dancing.
“This album is the soundtrack to stolen moments on the dance floor after a long day of flying,” says Peter Buffington, Executive Producer. “It’s the sound of aviators and their partners twirling to big band classics in a repurposed hangar in 1945, then stepping forward into today’s vibrant swing scene—East Coast hustle, West Coast cool, graceful waltzes, and those close, slow dances that say everything without words. After four albums celebrating the thunder of airshows and airline flying, this fifth chapter celebrates the heartbeat that happens when the engines are quiet and the music begins.”
Following the acclaimed 737 series—737 Red Eye, 737 Diversion, 737 St. Erasmus’ Airshow, and 737 Airshow America—737 Hangar Dance marks the most intimate and danceable chapter yet in this pioneering aviation-themed musical journey. It is a perfect pair for any event considering hosting a 1940’s themed hangar dance.
The album, 737 Hangar Dance, will premiere Wednesday night February 11, 2026, at 8PM central time on YouTube and will be available on all major music distribution channels, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, TikTok, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, iHeartRadio, and many others worldwide through DistroKid.
