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.
