The Schmoozenbergs

 

Conjuring up the mood of 1930s Paris, fused with the energy of a campfire jam session, The Schmoozenbergs’ uplifting gypsy swing music will put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step!

 

Paying homage to the pioneers of the genre, the great gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and the French violinist Stéphane Grappelli, their repertoire includes original interpretations of their timeless compositions, as well as pieces by the likes of Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and George Gershwin, and some cheeky musical surprises thrown in for good measure.

 

Based in Bristol, the band formed in 2012, and have had a busy 5 years of shows, playing a wide range of venues… from Glastonbury Festival to neighbourhood bars, from Arts centres to street corners.
