The Archtops - From Swing to Soul!
The Archtops Dance Band
Named after the quintessential jazz guitar (the Archtop,) Mike Faast & The Archtops cover 50 years of swing, blues and soul. From the soulful, danceable, crowd pleasing dance music of the 60's and 70's to songs from the great Swing era the Archtops have you covered. Songs such as My Girl, Under the Board walk, Stand by me, and romantic ballads such as At last, When a man loves a Woman and Blues Rock tunes such as Sweet Home Chicago and I'm Tore Down as well as a smattering of Swing tunes such as All of Me, I Got Rhythm, It Don't Mean a Thing. This is great dance music, however, it's also a lot of fun to just sit and listen to.
