Photo of Phoenix Rising Jazz Phoenix Rising Jazz "Wesley Walker played the Saxophone at my wedding this past weekend and I'm still speechless ?? He did an extraordinary job!!" Based in Missouri City, Texas (14 miles from Houston) Cynthia Washington - Wedding Photo of Eric Ching Trio/Quartet Eric Ching Trio/Quartet "Eric is a standout performer and well-organized band leader. Professional, kind, and adaptable, he seamlessly integrates into any musical setting. I recently had the pleasure of booking Eric for an event at a speakeasy in Oregon and he was a joy to work with. If you're seeking a reliable and versatile drummer who elevates every performance, look no further than Eric Ching." Based in Austin, Texas (147 miles from Houston) Calysta Cheyenne - Entertainment Director at The Underground Speakeasy Photo of Texas Gypsies Texas Gypsies "In a word... FABULOUS! These guys gave us just the sound we needed for our fun Prohibition-theme wedding. It is now two weeks later, and all we keep hearing is "Man, that band was fantastic!" They are worth the asking price (which is very reasonable to begin with!) Steve Curry is a great guy and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them without any reservations." Based in Dallas, Texas (225 miles from Houston) Elizabeth A - Wedding Photo of The Anthony S Experience The Anthony S Experience "Anthony and Jasmine was great to work with.  They were on time and flexible once a torrential downpour came and we had to adjust the run of show some.  They were even kind enough to let my strolling violinist use their gear when hers started acting up.   I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we are back in Atlanta!" Based in Hampton, Georgia (698 miles from Houston) Jonna B. Thoma. CMP - American Association of Airport Executives Photo of Luis Alas & The All Star Funksters Luis Alas & The All Star Funksters "A few years ago I had reviewed Luis Alas' single, at that time I stated Luis was definitely one to keep an eye on. With his new song "You Mean Everything To Me" Luis has officially arrived. He has shown a level of musical maturity in his playing of any of the top names. He plays with intent, every note speaks and nothing is done as a filler, this is Smooth Jazz at its best. I can now say Luis is ready for the big stage and I know it won't be very long to see him at all the great festivals and events. This is a definite "must add" to any smooth jazz lover." Based in Atlanta, Georgia (701 miles from Houston) Althea Turner - Smooth Jazz Magazine Photo of Bradley Cohen Music Bradley Cohen Music "Had the pleasure hiring Bradley to perform at our wedding and it was the HIGHLIGHT of the night!!!! We’ve never been complimented so much on how fun our dance floor and background music was!" Based in Palm Coast, Florida (849 miles from Houston) 7th October 2026 Michelle Daly - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is $900, with rates from $230 to $2,800+. Cost varies based on the number of musicians, set length and the style of swing. Swing bands range from intimate jazz combos to large orchestras, and the size of the ensemble is the primary factor in pricing.

Typical bookings for swing bands include vintage-themed weddings, black-tie dinners, corporate events, cocktail parties, swing dance nights and gala celebrations. Swing music creates a sophisticated, energetic atmosphere that is perfect for dancing.

Swing is written for dancing and most bands build the set around it, varying the tempo so the floor stays busy rather than holding one pace all night. Several will run a short demonstration early on at events where guests do not know the steps. A floor area clear of tables makes far more difference to this than the size of the line-up.

Most line-ups include one, and in smaller groups the singer often doubles on an instrument. Some acts are instrumental only, which works well for background playing but changes the feel once people want to dance. Profiles say which format each act offers and several can supply either.

Most swing bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, PA system and amplification. Larger ensembles may have specific staging requirements. It is worth confirming technical and space needs with the band before booking.

The swing bands in Houston, Texas, United States perform swing, big band jazz, jive, boogie-woogie and related styles from the 1930s through to the modern swing revival. Many bands offer a mix of vintage classics and contemporary songs performed in a swing style.

Most perform in vintage-styled suits or dresses in keeping with the era, and many will match a black-tie or 1940s theme if asked. Some carry more than one look and will confirm which suits the occasion. Mentioning the theme when enquiring is usually enough, as it rarely affects the fee.

The swing bands on Gig Heaven range from small combos of three to five musicians up to full big band line-ups with horn sections and vocalists. A smaller group suits intimate settings, while a larger ensemble delivers the classic big band swing sound.
