The Marshall Ford Swing Band is a rotating lineup of young musicians
from the Hill Country in Texas who combine the traditional western swing
with be-bop jazz and Texas blues. Drawing inspiration from artists as
diverse as Nat King Cole, Bob Wills, T-Bone Walker, Django Reinhardt
and Johnny Gimble, the band plays music that can swing a dance floor
into a full tilt boogie or provide a Texas flavored ambient for any
private event, be it a corporate luncheon or a wedding reception. Primarily
a five piece, the band can strip down to a trio for a casually intimate
event or fill out to a seven piece for a more formal affair. These young
musicians have been playing together for the better part of five years,
and have become a strong enough unit to support any extension of the
group.
