Gaetano and the Hummingbirds is a Milan-based swing band built to play live. Fronted by singer Gaetano — also known solo as Gaetano the Crooner — and backed by piano, drums, double bass, and trumpet, the band performs the classic swing repertoire that filled dance floors from the 1930s through the 1960s, brought to life for today's audiences.
The band has performed live at venues of national and international standing — including Nidaba Theatre, Spirit de Milan, and Castello Bevilacqua. Based in Milan and active across Lombardy — from Lecco to Varese, Bergamo to Brescia — Gaetano and the Hummingbirds play weddings, corporate and hotel events, swing-dance festivals and socials, and private celebrations across Italy and Europe.
We bring the elegance and energy of Swing's golden age to the stage — the Italian and international classics that defined the era, a natural fit for a vintage-inspired or Gatsby-style celebration as much as a modern wedding reception. Available for private and corporate events, celebrations, and settings of every scale, we bring the same professionalism, polish, and performance quality to each one.

Depending on the set you choose, we can adapt from a small space to a very large space.
It may vary depending on where the performance is requested.
We need to know the exact position of where the event will be located
We're happy to work with whatever audio setup a venue or event already has in place, or coordinate directly with your own sound provider. If you'd like us to bring our own PA system for a smaller acoustic-friendly setup, that's available on request as part of the quote — just let us know when you get in touch.
We can provide a Spotify service before and between our sets
It's a few months we are together. For now we only performed locally. The best gig ever has been at Spirit De Milan as a duo.
We Love playing at all sorts of events, there's not a favourite one
Since I started as a singer, I just went back and forth in the North of Italy through the years.
As a professional, I was looking for other professionals to make music with, so I assembled the band.
Sinatra represents the basics to us. The best song ever is New York New York.
We need 1 hour for the setup and Sound check. And at least 30 mins to unmount.
We usually play 2x45 minutes. But we can discuss about our performance duration and modus.
We can perform inside and outside as per the request.
We just need at least a power supply close to the performance area.
The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
There's no way to not sing along with them
Yes. But only if you make us perform at least 2 times in a month
